DEFAULT_ACL(2)  DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)  DEFAULT_ACL(2)



NAME
     default_acl - change default file protection environment

USAGE
     #include <default_acl.h>

     int default_acl(switch)
     int switch;

DESCRIPTION
     The DOMAIN/IX system call default_acl allows programs to
     change the default file protection environment between
     access mode and access control list (ACL).  Values for the
     switch argument are defined in <default_acl.h>.  They are:

          USE_DEFACL -- Use the default ACL contained in the
          directory when creating a new file, pipe, or directory.

          USE_MODE -- Use the access mode supplied in the call,
          modified by the current umask value.

          USE_DEFENV -- Use the default for the environment in
          which the program is running.  In the DOMAIN environ-
          ment, the program will use the default ACL; in the
          DOMAIN/IX environment, it will use the access mode.
          (This is the default.)
