NAME

       acl_delete_def_file — delete a default ACL by filename

LIBRARY

       Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int
       acl_delete_def_file(const char *path_p);

DESCRIPTION

       The  acl_delete_def_file() function deletes a default ACL from the directory whose pathname is pointed to
       by the argument path_p.

       The effective user ID of the process must match the owner of the file or directory or  the  process  must
       have the CAP_FOWNER capability for the request to succeed.

       If the argument path_p is not a directory, then the function fails. It is no error if the directory whose
       pathname is pointed to by the argument path_p does not have a default ACL.

RETURN VALUE

       The  acl_delete_def_file() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned
       and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_delete_def_file() function returns the value -1 and and
       sets errno to the corresponding value:

       [EINVAL]           The file referred to by path_p is not a directory.

       [ENOTSUP]          The file system on which the file identified by path_p is  located  does  not  support
                          ACLs, or ACLs are disabled.

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

       [EROFS]            This function requires modification of a file system which is currently read-only.

STANDARDS
