42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43.In sys/types.h
44.In sys/acl.h
45.Ft int
46.Fn acl_set_fd "int fd" "acl_t acl"
47.Ft int
48.Fn acl_set_fd_np "int fd" "acl_t acl" "acl_type_t type"
49.Ft int
50.Fn acl_set_file "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"
51.Ft int
52.Fn acl_set_link_np "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"
53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Fn acl_set_fd ,
56.Fn acl_set_fd_np ,
57.Fn acl_set_file ,
58and
59.Fn acl_set_link_np
60each associate an ACL with an object referred to by
61.Va fd
62or
63.Va path_p .
64The
65.Fn acl_set_fd_np
66and
67.Fn acl_set_link_np
68functions are not POSIX.1e calls.
69The
70.Fn acl_set_fd
71function allows only the setting of ACLs of type ACL_TYPE_ACCESS
72where as
73.Fn acl_set_fd_np
74allows the setting of ACLs of any type.
75The
76.Fn acl_set_link_np
77function acts on a symlink rather than its target, if the target of the
78path is a symlink.
79.Pp
80Valid values for the
81.Va type
82argument are:
83.Bl -column -offset 3n "ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT"
84.It ACL_TYPE_ACCESS	POSIX.1e access ACL
85.It ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT	POSIX.1e default ACL
86.It ACL_TYPE_NFS4	NFSv4 ACL
87.El
88.Pp
89Trying to set ACL_TYPE_NFS4 with
90.Va acl
91branded as POSIX.1e, or ACL_TYPE_ACCESS or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT with ACL
92branded as NFSv4, will result in error.
93.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
94.Fx Ns 's
95support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
96development at this time.
97.Sh RETURN VALUES
98.Rv -std
99.Sh ERRORS
100If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return
101-1 and set
102.Va errno
103to the corresponding value:
104.Bl -tag -width Er
105.It Bq Er EACCES
106Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
107object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
108.It Bq Er EBADF
109The
110.Va fd
111argument is not a valid file descriptor.
112.It Bq Er EINVAL
113Argument
114.Va acl
115does not point to a valid ACL for this object, or the ACL type
116specified in
117.Va type
118is invalid for this object, or there is branding mismatch.
119.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
120A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
121entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
122.It Bq Er ENOENT
123The named object does not exist, or the
124.Va path_p
125argument points to an empty string.
126.It Bq Er ENOMEM
127Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
128.It Bq Er ENOSPC
129The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be
130extended, or the file system is out of file allocation resources.
131.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
132The file system does not support ACL retrieval.
133.It Bq Er EROFS
134This function requires modification of a file system which is currently
135read-only.
