ACLDELETE(3)            BSD Library Functions Manual            ACLDELETE(3)

NAME
     acldeletefdnp, acldeletefilenp acldeletelinknp -- delete an ACL
     from a file

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     ##include <>
     ##include <>

     int
     acldeletefdnp(int filedes, acltypet type);

     int
     acldeletefilenp(const char *pathp, acltypet type);

     int
     acldeletelinknp(const char *pathp, acltypet type);

DESCRIPTION
     The acldeletefdnp(), acldeletefilenp(), and acldeletelinknp()
     each allow the deletion of an ACL from a file.  These functions are non-
     portable extensions that permit the deletion of arbitrary ACL types from
     a file/directory either by path name or file descriptor.  The file()
     variations follow a symlink if it occurs in the last segment of the path
     name; the link() variations operate on the symlink itself.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the
     value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
     error.

ERORS
     If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return -1
     and set errno to the corresponding value:

     [EACES]           Search permission is denied for a component of the
                        path prefix, or the object exists and the process does
                        not have appropriate access rights.

     [EBADF]            The fd argument is not a valid file descriptor.

     [EINVAL]           The ACL type passed is invalid for this file object.

     [ENAMETOLONG]     A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or
                        an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.

     [ENOENT]           The named object does not exist, or the pathp argu-
                        ment points to an empty string.

     [ENOMEM]           Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.

     [ENOTDIR]          A component of the path prefix is not a directory.

                        Argument pathp must be a directory, and is not.

     [EOPNOTSUP]       The file system does not support ACL deletion.

     [EPERM]            The process does not have appropriate privilege to
                        perform the operation to delete an ACL.

     [EROFS]            The file system is read-only.
