31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm VOP_GETACL
34.Nd retrieve access control list for a vnode
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36.In sys/param.h
37.In sys/vnode.h
38.In sys/acl.h
39.Ft int
40.Fn VOP_GETACL "struct vnode *vp" "acl_type_t type" "struct acl *aclp" "kauth_cred_t cred"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42This vnode call may be used to retrieve the access control list (ACL) from a
43file or directory.
44.Pp
45Its arguments are:
46.Bl -tag -width type
47.It Fa vp
48The vnode of the file or directory.
49.It Fa type
50The type of ACL to retrieve.
51.It Fa aclp
52A pointer to an ACL structure to receive the ACL data.
53.It Fa cred
54The user credentials to use in authorizing the request.
55.El
56.Pp
57The
58.Fa cred
59pointer may be
60.Dv NULL
61to indicate that access control checks are not to be performed, if possible.
62This cred setting might be used to allow the kernel to authorize ACL
63retrieval that the active process might not be permitted to do.
64.Pp
65The vnode ACL interface defines the syntax, and not semantics, of file and
66directory ACL interfaces.
67More information about ACL management in kernel may be found in
68.Xr acl 9 .
69.Sh LOCKS
70The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
71.Sh RETURN VALUES
72If the
73.Fa aclp
74pointer will point to a valid ACL, then zero is returned.
75Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
76.Sh ERRORS
77.Bl -tag -width Er
78.It Bq Er EACCES
79The caller does not have the appropriate privilege.
80.It Bq Er EINVAL
81The ACL type passed is invalid for this vnode.
82.It Bq Er ENOMEM
83Sufficient memory is not available to fulfill the request.
84.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
85The file system does not support
86.Fn VOP_GETACL .
