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


SYNOPSIS

     int
     acl_delete_def_file(const char *path_p)


DESCRIPTION

     The acl_delete_def_file() function deletes a default ACL from the direc­
     tory 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 re­
     quest 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() func­
     tion 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.
