NAME

       Linux::ACL - Perl extension for reading and setting Access Control Lists for files by
       libacl linux library.

VERSION

       Version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

       Quick summary of what the module does.

       Perhaps a little code snippet.

         use Linux::ACL;
         ($acl, $default_acl) = getfacl("path/to/file");
         setfacl("path/to/file", $acl [, $default_acl]);

EXPORT

       setfacl($$;$)
           Set the ACL of the file or directory named by $path to that specified by $acl.  If
           $path names a directory, then the optional $default_acl argument can also be passed to
           specify the default ACL for the directory.  See "ACL structure" for information on how
           the $acl and $default_acl hashes should be constructed.

       getfacl($)
           Return a reference to a hash containing information about the file's ACL.  If the file
           is a directory with a default ACL, then a list is returned, with the first entry being
           a hash reference to the ACL, and the second being a hash reference to the default ACL.
           See "Accessing ACL structures" for information on how to access these hashes, and "ACL
           structure" for information on how these hashes are internally constructed.

RETURN VALUES

       setfacl
           returns TRUE if successful and FALSE if unsuccessful.

       getfacl
           if successful, returns a list containing a reference to the hash describing an acl,
           and, if there is a default acl, a reference to the hash describing the default acl.
           If unsuccessful, "getfacl" returns a null list.

Examples

       getfacl example

         use Linux::ACL;
         use Data::Dumper;
         my @a = getfacl("/tmp");
         print Dumper \@a;

       prints:

         $VAR1 = [
                 {
                   'uperm' => {
                                'w' => 1,
                                'r' => 1,
                                'x' => 1
                              },
                   'gperm' => {
                                'w' => 1,
                                'r' => 1,
                                'x' => 1
                              },
                   'other' => {
                                'w' => 1,
                                'r' => 1,
                                'x' => 1
                              }
                 }
               ];

       setfacl example

         use Linux::ACL;
         setfacl("/mnt/testacl/d", {
               uperm=>{r=>1,w=>1,x=>1},
               gperm=>{r=>1,w=>1,x=>1},
               other=>{r=>1,w=>0,x=>1},
               mask=>{r=>1,w=>1,x=>1},
               group=>{
                       123456=>{r=>1,w=>1,x=>1}
               }
         }, {
               uperm=>{r=>1,w=>1,x=>1},
               gperm=>{r=>1,w=>1,x=>1},
               other=>{r=>1,w=>1,x=>1},
               mask=>{r=>1,w=>1,x=>1}
         });
         system("getfacl /mnt/testacl/d");

       prints:

         $ getfacl d
         # file: d
         # owner: user
         # group: user
         user::rwx
         group::rwx
         group:123456:rwx
         mask::rwx
         other::r-x
         default:user::rwx
         default:group::rwx
         default:mask::rwx
         default:other::rwx
