VACCESS_ACL_POSIX1E(9) FreeBSD Kernel Developer's ManualVACCESS_ACL_POSIX1E(9) NAME vaccess_acl_posix1e -- generate a POSIX.1e ACL access control decision using vnode parameters SYNOPSIS #include <sys/param.h> #include <sys/vnode.h> #include <sys/acl.h> int vaccess_acl_posix1e(enum vtype type, uid_t file_uid, gid_t file_gid, struct acl *acl, accmode_t accmode, struct ucred *cred, int *privused); DESCRIPTION This call implements the logic for the UNIX discretionary file security model with POSIX.1e ACL extensions. It accepts the vnodes type type, owning UID file_uid, owning GID file_gid, access ACL for the file acl, desired access mode accmode, requesting credential cred, and an optional call-by-reference int pointer returning whether or not privilege was re- quired for successful evaluation of the call; the privused pointer may be set to NULL by the caller in order not to be informed of privilege infor- mation, or it may point to an integer that will be set to 1 if privilege is used, and 0 otherwise. This call is intended to support implementations of VOP_ACCESS(9), which will use their own access methods to retrieve the vnode properties, and then invoke vaccess_acl_posix1e() in order to perform the actual check. Implementations of VOP_ACCESS(9) may choose to implement additional secu- rity mechanisms whose results will be composed with the return value. The algorithm used by vaccess_acl_posix1e() is based on the POSIX.1e ACL evaluation algorithm. The algorithm selects a matching entry from the access ACL, which may then be composed with an available ACL mask entry, providing UNIX security compatibility. Once appropriate protections are selected for the current credential, the requested access mode, in combination with the vnode type, will be com- pared 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. RETURN VALUES vaccess_acl_posix1e() will return 0 on success, or a non-zero error value on failure. ERRORS [EACCES] Permission denied. An attempt was made to access a file in a way forbidden by its file access permis- sions. [EPERM] Operation not permitted. An attempt was made to per- form an operation limited to processes with appropri- ate privileges or to the owner of a file or other re- source.
