.Nm acl_valid ,

.Nm acl_valid_file_np ,
.Nm acl_valid_link_np
.Nd validate an ACL
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/types.h
.In sys/acl.h
.Ft int
.Fn acl_valid "acl_t acl"
.Ft int
.Fn acl_valid_fd_np "int fd" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"
.Ft int
.Fn acl_valid_file_np "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"
.Ft int
.Fn acl_valid_link_np "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type" "acl_t acl"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions check that the ACL referred to by the argument
.Va acl
is valid.
The POSIX.1e routine,
.Fn acl_valid ,
checks this validity only with POSIX.1e ACL semantics, and irrespective
of the context in which the ACL is to be used.
The non-portable forms,
.Fn acl_valid_fd_np ,
.Fn acl_valid_file_np ,
and
.Fn acl_valid_link_np
allow an ACL to be checked in the context of a specific acl type,
.Va type ,
and file system object.
In environments where additional ACL types are
supported than just POSIX.1e, this makes more sense.
Whereas
.Fn acl_valid_file_np
will follow the symlink if the specified path is to a symlink,
.Fn acl_valid_link_np
will not.
.Pp
For POSIX.1e semantics, the checks include:
.Bl -bullet
.It
The three required entries
.Dv ( ACL_USER_OBJ , ACL_GROUP_OBJ ,
and
.Dv ACL_OTHER )
shall exist exactly once in the ACL.
If the ACL contains any
.Dv ACL_USER , ACL_GROUP ,
or any other
implementation-defined entries in the file group class
then one
.Dv ACL_MASK
entry shall also be required.
The ACL shall contain at most one
.Dv ACL_MASK
entry.
.It
The qualifier field shall be unique among all entries of
the same POSIX.1e ACL facility defined tag type.
The
tag type field shall contain valid values including any
implementation-defined values.
Validation of the values
of the qualifier field is implementation-defined.
.El
.Pp
The POSIX.1e
.Fn acl_valid
function may reorder the ACL for the purposes of verification; the
non-portable validation functions will not.
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
.Fx Ns 's
support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
development at this time.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Rv -std
.Sh ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return
-1 and set
.Va errno
to the corresponding value:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EACCES
Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
.It Bq Er EBADF
The
.Va fd
argument is not a valid file descriptor.
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Argument
.Va acl
does not point to a valid ACL.
.Pp
One or more of the required ACL entries is not present in
.Va acl .
.Pp
The ACL contains entries that are not unique.
.Pp
The file system rejects the ACL based on fs-specific semantics issues.
.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
.It Bq Er ENOENT
The named object does not exist, or the
.Va path_p
argument points to an empty string.
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
The file system does not support ACL retrieval.

.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
.Fx
POSIX.1e implementation
page for more information.
.Sh HISTORY
POSIX.1e support was introduced in
.Fx 4.0 ,
and development continues.
