ACL_DELETE_DEF_FILE(3) Library Functions Manual ACL_DELETE_DEF_FILE(3)
acl_delete_def_file — delete a default ACL by filename
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
<sys/types.h> <sys/acl.h> int acl_delete_def_file(const char
*path_p)
The acl_delete_def_file() function deletes a default ACL from the
directory whose pathname is pointed to by the argument path_p.
The effective user ID of the process must match the owner of the
file or directory or the process must have the CAP_FOWNER
capability for the request to succeed.
If the argument path_p is not a directory, then the function
fails. It is no error if the directory whose pathname is pointed
to by the argument path_p does not have a default ACL.
The acl_delete_def_file() function returns the value 0 if
successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global
variable errno is set to indicate the error.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
acl_delete_def_file() function returns the value -1 and and sets
errno to the corresponding value:
[EINVAL] The file referred to by path_p is not a
directory.
[ENOTSUP] The file system on which the file identified by
path_p is located does not support ACLs, or
ACLs are disabled.
[EPERM] The process does not have appropriate privilege
to perform the operation to delete the default
ACL.
[EROFS] This function requires modification of a file
system which is currently read-only.
