36 .Fn acl_set_fd "int fd" "acl_t acl"
40 function associates an access ACL with the file referred to by
43 The effective user ID of the process must match the owner of the file or the process must have the CAP_FOWNER capability for the request to succeed.
47 If any of the following conditions occur, the
49 function returns the value
53 to the corresponding value:
58 argument is not a valid file descriptor.
62 does not point to a valid ACL.
64 The ACL has more entries than the file referred to by
68 The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be extended or the file system is out of file allocation resources.
70 The file identified by
72 cannot be associated with the ACL because the file system on which the file
73 is located does not support this.
75 The process does not have appropriate privilege to perform the operation to set the ACL.
77 This function requires modification of a file system which is currently read-only.
