.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This call implements the logic for the
|
|
.Ux
|
|
discretionary file security model
|
|
with POSIX.1e ACL extensions.
|
|
It accepts the vnodes type
|
|
.Fa type ,
|
|
owning UID
|
|
.Fa file_uid ,
|
|
owning GID
|
|
.Fa file_gid ,
|
|
access ACL for the file
|
|
.Fa acl ,
|
|
desired access mode
|
|
.Fa acc_mode ,
|
|
requesting credential
|
|
.Fa cred ,
|
|
and an optional call-by-reference
|
|
.Vt int
|
|
pointer returning whether or not
|
|
privilege was required for successful evaluation of the call; the
|
|
.Fa privused
|
|
pointer may be set to
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
by the caller in order not to be informed of
|
|
privilege information, or it may point to an integer that will be set to
|
|
1 if privilege is used, and 0 otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This call is intended to support implementations of
|
|
.Xr VOP_ACCESS 9 ,
|
|
which will use their own access methods to retrieve the vnode properties,
|
|
and then invoke
|
|
.Fn vaccess_acl_posix1e
|
|
in order to perform the actual check.
|
|
Implementations of
|
|
.Xr VOP_ACCESS 9
|
|
may choose to implement additional security mechanisms whose results will
|
|
be composed with the return value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The algorithm used by
|
|
.Fn vaccess_acl_posix1e
|
|
is based on the POSIX.1e ACL evaluation algorithm.
|
|
The algorithm selects a
|
|
.Em matching
|
|
entry from the access ACL, which may
|
|
then be composed with an available ACL mask entry, providing
|
|
.Ux
|
|
security compatibility.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Once appropriate protections are selected for the current credential,
|
|
the requested access mode, in combination with the vnode type, will be
|
|
compared with the discretionary rights available for the credential.
|
|
If the rights granted by discretionary protections are insufficient,
|
|
then super-user privilege, if available for the credential, will also be
|
|
considered.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn vaccess_acl_posix1e
|
|
will return 0 on success, or a non-zero error value on failure.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EACCES
|
|
Permission denied.
|
|
An attempt was made to access a file in a way forbidden by its file access
|
|
permissions.
|
|
.It Bq Er EPERM
|
|
Operation not permitted.
|
|
An attempt was made to perform an operation limited to processes with
|
|
appropriate privileges or to the owner of a file or other resource.
