NAME
VOP_SETACL - set the access control list for a vnodeSYNOPSIS
In sys/param.h In sys/vnode.h In sys/acl.h Ft int Fn VOP_SETACL struct vnode *vp acl_type_t type struct acl *aclp struct ucred *cred struct thread *tdDESCRIPTION
This vnode call may be used to set the access control list (ACL) for a file or directory.Its arguments are:
- Fa vp
- The vnode of the file or directory.
- Fa type
- The type of ACL to set.
- Fa aclp
- A pointer to an ACL structure from which to retrieve the ACL data.
- Fa cred
- The user credentials to use in authorizing the request.
- Fa td
- The thread setting the ACL.
The Fa aclp pointer may be NULL to indicate that the specified ACL should be deleted.
The Fa cred pointer may be NULL to indicate that access control checks are not to be performed, if possible. This cred setting might be used to allow the kernel to authorize ACL changes that the active process might not be permitted to make.
The vnode ACL interface defines the syntax, and not semantics, of file and directory ACL interfaces. More information about ACL management in kernel may be found in acl(9).
