security_inode_post_set_acl(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME

Okay bestie, this is the security_inode_post_set_acl(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — and it's here to Update inode security from posix acls set ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS

The signature is literally giving C-function realness:

void security_inode_post_set_acl (struct dentry *dentry , const char
       *acl_name , struct posix_acl *kacl );

🎀 ARGUMENTS

  • dentry — file 🗂️
  • acl_name — acl name 🏷️
  • kacl — acl struct 📦

🦋 DESCRIPTION

So after posix acls are successfully set on dentry, this function updates the inode security data 🫶. The posix acls inside kacl are identified by acl_name — that's the whole vibe. No cap.

👑 SEE ALSO

Kernel file ./security/security.c is main-character energy here, and it's bringing the whole extended squad:

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 — source ./security, dated October 2026, and it's still living as security_inode_post_set_acl(9).
