dg_setoacl(2)              C2 Trusted DG/UX 5.4.2T             dg_setoacl(2)


NAME
       dgsetoacl - set the access control list (ACL) on an object

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/dgtparms.h>
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int  dgsetoacl(targtype, targ, type, acl, aclsize,
            textacl, textaclsize)
       int            targtype;
       void           *targ;
       int            type;
       aclstructt   *acl;
       int            aclsize;
       char           *textacl;
       int            textaclsize;

   where:
       targtype    A token that identifies the type of object whose ACL is
                    to be set.  The available tokens are defined in
                    sys/dgtparms.h as follows:

                    TFILE  The object is a file identified by a path name.

                    TFD    The object is a file identified by a file
                            descriptor.

       targ         The address of the identifier of the object whose ACL is
                    to be set.  The value of targtype determines the type
                    of entity that targ points to as follows:

                    TFILE  targ points to a path name string.

                    TFD    targ points to a file descriptor.

       type         type indicates whether this is an access ACL or a
                    default ACL; it must be set to either ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT
                    or ACL_TYPE_ACCESS.  Note that since default ACLs may
                    only be set on directories, when type is
                    ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT targ must reference a directory.

       acl          The address of an aclstructt containing the binary ACL
                    to be set on the file.

       aclsize      The size, in bytes, of the aclstructt pointed to by
                    acl.  An aclstructt is actually a variable size
                    structure with a fixed ``header'' (see sys/acl.h).  Note
                    that the macro SIZEOF_ACL_STRUCT(N) can be used to
                    compute the size of an ACL with N entries.

       textacl      The ASCII text ACL that is stored with the object.  If
                    no text ACL exists, the textaclsize parameter must be
                    set to zero.

                    Note that there is no assurance that the binary ACL
                    stored with the object would match the binary ACL
                    generated by converting the ASCII text ACL to binary.
                    Only the binary ACL is used by the reference monitor for
                    access control decisions.

       textaclsize  The size in bytes of the text ACL. If this parameter is
                    zero, dgsetoacl assumes that there is no text ACL to be
                    set.

DESCRIPTION
       The dgsetoacl system call sets the ACL on the object identified by
       targtype and targ to the ACL passed via the acl parameter.  The ACL
       passed must be a properly formed and valid ACL.  To delete a default
       ACL, write a default ACL with an aclsize of 0.

ACCESS CONTROL
       To set an ACL on an object, a process's effective user id must be
       that of the object's owner or the process must have appropriate
       privilege.

RETURN VALUE
       0         Successful completion.

       -1        An error occurred. errno is set to indicate the error.

EXCEPTIONS
       errno may be set to one of the following error codes:

       EINVAL      The ACL pointed to by acl is not a properly formed ACL,
                   or the aclsize parameter value is inconsistent with the
                   internal values in the ACL.

       EINVAL      The ACL type type is not one of ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT or
                   ACL_TYPE_ACCESS.

       EINVAL      The target type targtype parameter is not valid.

       EINVAL      The aclsize is zero but type is not ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT.

       EOPNOTSUPP  The target type targtype does not support default and/or
                   access ACL.

       ENOTDIR     The process attempted to set a default ACL on some object
                   other than a directory.

       EPERM       The caller did not have sufficient privilege or is not
                   the owner of the object.

       EFAULT      One of the parameters specified an area of memory not
                   accessible to the calling process.

       ENOMEM      The operating system was unable to allocate internal
                   memory to process the system call.
