NAME

VOP_GETACL - retrieve access control list for a vnode

SYNOPSIS

In sys/param.h In sys/vnode.h In sys/acl.h Ft int Fn VOP_GETACL struct vnode *vp acl_type_t type struct acl *aclp struct ucred *cred struct thread *td

DESCRIPTION

This vnode call may be used to retrieve the access control list (ACL) from a file or directory.

Its arguments are:

Fa vp
The vnode of the file or directory.
Fa type
The type of ACL to retrieve.
Fa aclp
A pointer to an ACL structure to receive the ACL data.
Fa cred
The user credentials to use in authorizing the request.
Fa td
The thread requesting the ACL.

The Fa cred pointer may be NULL to indicate that access control checks are not to be performed, if possible. This cred setting might be used to allow the kernel to authorize ACL retrieval that the active process might not be permitted to do.

The vnode ACL interface defines the syntax, and not semantics, of file and directory ACL interfaces. More information about ACL management in kernel may be found in acl(9).

LOCKS

The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.

RETURN VALUES

If the Fa aclp pointer will point to a valid ACL, then zero is returned. Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.

ERRORS

Bq Er EINVAL
The ACL type passed is invalid for this vnode.
Bq Er EACCES
The the caller does not have the appropriate privilege.
Bq Er ENOMEM
Sufficient memory is not available to fulfill the request.
Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
The file system does not support Fn VOP_GETACL .
