.Os FreeBSD 4.0
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm acl_to_text
|
|
.Nd convert an ACL to Text
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libposix1e
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/acl.h>
|
|
.Ft char *
|
|
.Fn acl_to_text "acl_t acl" "ssize_t *len_p"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn acl_to_text
|
|
function translates the ACL pointed to by argument
|
|
.Va acl
|
|
into a NULL terminated character string. If the pointer
|
|
.Va len_p
|
|
is not NULL, then the function shall return the length of the string (not
|
|
including the NULL terminator) in the location pointed to by
|
|
.Va len_p .
|
|
The format of the text string returned by
|
|
.Fn acl_to_text
|
|
shall be the POSIX.1e long ACL form.
|
|
|
|
This function allocates any memory necessary to contain the string and
|
|
returns a pointer to the string. The caller should free any releasable
|
|
memory, when the new string is no longer required, by calling
|
|
.Xr acl_free 3
|
|
with the
|
|
.Va (void*)char
|
|
as an argument.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
|
|
development at this time.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, the function shall return a pointer to the
|
|
long text form of an ACL. Otherwise, a value of
|
|
.Va (char*)NULL
|
|
shall be returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
shall be set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
If any of the following conditions occur, the
|
|
.Fn acl_to_text
|
|
function shall return a value of
|
|
.Va (acl_t)NULL
|
|
and set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
to the corresponding value:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Va acl
|
|
does not point to a valid ACL.
|
|
|
|
The ACL denoted by
|
|
.Va acl
|
|
contains one or more improperly formed ACL entries, or for some other
|
|
reason cannot be translated into a text form of an ACL.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
The character string to be returned requires more memory than is allowed
|
|
by the hardware or software-imposed memory management constraints.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion
|
|
of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
|
|
mailing list. To join this list, see the FreeBSD POSIX.1e implementation
|
|
page for more information.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
POSIX.1e support was introduced in
|
|
.Fx 4.0 ,
|
|
and development continues.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
These features are not yet fully implemented.
|
|
|
|
.Fn acl_from_text
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn acl_to_text
|
|
rely on the
|
|
.Xr getpwent 3
|
|
library calls to manage username and uid mapping, as well as the
|
|
.Xr getgrent 3
|
|
library calls to manage groupname and gid mapping. These calls are not
|
|
thread safe, and so transitively, neither are
|
|
.Fn acl_from_text
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn acl_to_text .
|
|
These functions may also interfere with stateful
|
|
calls associated with the
|
|
.Fn getpwent
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getgrent
|
|
calls.
