39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.In sys/types.h
41.In sys/acl.h
42.Ft int
43.Fn acl_delete_def_file "const char *path_p"
44.Ft int
45.Fn acl_delete_file_np "const char *path_p" "acl_type_t type"
46.Ft int
47.Fn acl_delete_fd_np "int filedes" "acl_type_t type"
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Fn acl_delete_def_file ,
51.Fn acl_delete_file_np ,
52and
53.Fn acl_delete_fd_np
54each allow the deletion of an ACL from a file.
55.Fn acl_delete_def_file
56is a POSIX.1e call that deletes the default ACL from a file (normally a
57directory) by name; the other two calls are non-portable extensions that
58allow deleting of arbitrary ACL types from a file/directory by either path
59name, or by file descriptor.
60.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
61.Dx Ns 's
62support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
63development at this time.
64.Sh RETURN VALUES
65.Rv -std
66.Sh ERRORS
67If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return -1
68and set
69.Va errno
70to the corresponding value:
71.Bl -tag -width Er
72.It Bq Er EACCES
73Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
74object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
75.It Bq Er EBADF
76The
77.Va fd
78argument is not a valid file descriptor.
79.It Bq Er EINVAL
80The ACL type passed is invalid for this file object.
81.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
82A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
83entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
84.It Bq Er ENOENT
85The named object does not exist, or the
86.Va path_p
87argument points to an empty string.
88.It Bq Er ENOMEM
89Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
90.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
91A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
92.Pp
93Argument
94.Va path_p
95must be a directory, and is not.
96.It Bq Er EOPNOTSUPP
97The file system does not support ACL deletion.
98.It Bq Er EPERM
99The process does not have appropriate privilege to perform the operation
100to delete an ACL.

109.Sh STANDARDS
110POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.  Discussion
111of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
112mailing list.  To join this list, see the
113.Fx
114POSIX.1e implementation
115page for more information.
116.Sh HISTORY
117POSIX.1e support was introduced in
118.Fx 4.0 ,
119and development continues.

122.Sh BUGS
123These features are not yet fully implemented.  In particular, the shipped
124version of UFS/FFS does not support storage of additional security labels,
125and so is unable to (easily) provide support for most of these features.
