SYNOPSIS

In sys/types.h In sys/acl.h Ft int Fn acl_delete_def_file const char *path_p

DESCRIPTION

The Fn 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

Rv -std acl_delete_def_file
