📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

hiii bestie, welcome to the cifs_init_posix_acl(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one is short and sweet, no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

cifs_init_posix_acl — convert ACL from cifs to POSIX ACL format ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the signature is right here, copy it exactly bestie 👇

void cifs_init_posix_acl (struct posix_acl_entry *ace , struct
       cifs_posix_ace *cifs_ace );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ace — POSIX ACL entry to store the converted ACL into 🫶
  • cifs_ace — ACL in cifs format 📦

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this function converts an Access Control Entry from wire format to local POSIX xattr format. that’s the whole vibe 💅

one lil note, bestie: the cifs_uid member is used to store both {g,u}id_t. no cap, it’s doing double duty 🙈.
