.SH DESCRIPTION

.ad l

The

``Access Control Lists (ACLs)''

extend the standard Unix perssion model.

The ACL interface of

\fB\%libarchive\fP

supports both POSIX.1e and NFSv4 style ACLs. Use of ACLs is restricted by

various levels of ACL support in operating systems, file systems and archive

formats.

.SS POSIX.1e Access Control Lists

A POSIX.1e ACL consists of a number of independent entries.

Each entry specifies the permission set as bitmask of basic permissions.

Valid permissions in the

are:

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_READ (.B r )

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE (.B w )

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_EXECUTE (.B x )

.RE

The permissions correspond to the normal Unix permissions.

.PP

The

specifies the principal to which the permission applies.

Valid values are:

.RS 5

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER

The user specified by the name field.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER_OBJ

The owner of the file.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP

The group specied by the name field.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP_OBJ

The group who owns the file.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_MASK

The maximum permissions to be obtained via group permissions.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_OTHER

Any principal who is not file owner or a member of the owning group.

.RE

.PP

The principals

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER_OBJ,

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP_OBJ

and

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_OTHER

are equivalent to user, group and other in the classic Unix permission

model and specify non-extended ACL entries.

.PP

All files with have an access ACL

(.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS.)

This specifies the permissions required for access to the file itself.

Directories have an additional ACL

(.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT,)

which controls the initial access ACL for newly created directory entries.

.SS NFSv4 Access Control Lists

A NFSv4 ACL consists of multiple individual entries called Access Control

Entries (ACEs).

.PP

There are four possible types of a NFSv4 ACE:

.RS 5

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALLOW

Allow principal to perform actions requiring given permissions.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DENY

Prevent principal from performing actions requiring given permissions.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_AUDIT

Log access attempts by principal which require given permissions.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALARM

Trigger a system alarm on access attempts by principal which require given

permissions.

.RE

.PP

The

specifies the principal to which the permission applies.

Valid values are:

.RS 5

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER

The user specified by the name field.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER_OBJ

The owner of the file.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP

The group specied by the name field.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP_OBJ

The group who owns the file.

It .BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_EVERYONE

Any principal who is not file owner or a member of the owning group.

.RE

.PP

Entries with the

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER

or

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP

tag store the user and group name in the

string and optionally the user or group ID in the

integer.

.PP

NFSv4 ACE permissions and flags are stored in the same

bitfield. Some permissions share the same constant and permission character but

have different effect on directories than on files. The following ACE

permissions are supported:

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_READ_DATA (.B r )

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_EXECUTE (.B x )

Execute file or change into a directory.

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_APPEND_DATA (.B p )

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE_OWNER (.B o )

Change owner of a file or directory.

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_SYNCHRONIZE (.B s )

.RE

.PP

The following NFSv4 ACL inheritance flags are supported:

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_FILE_INHERIT (.B f )

Inherit parent directory ACE to files.

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_DIRECTORY_INHERIT (.B d )

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT (.B n )

Do not propagate inherit flags. Only first-level entries inherit ACLs.

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_FAILED_ACCESS (.B F )

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_INHERITED (.B I )

Mark that ACE was inherited.

.RE

.SS Functions

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_add_entry\fP()

and

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_add_entry_w\fP()

add a single ACL entry.

For the access ACL and non-extended principals, the classic Unix permissions

are updated. An archive entry cannot contain both POSIX.1e and NFSv4 ACL

entries.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_clear\fP()

removes all ACL entries and resets the enumeration pointer.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_count\fP()

counts the ACL entries that have the given type mask.

can be the bitwise-or of

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT

.RE

for POSIX.1e ACLs and

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALLOW

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DENY

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_AUDIT

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALARM

.RE

for NFSv4 ACLs. For POSIX.1e ACLs if

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS

is included and at least one extended ACL entry is found,

the three non-extended ACLs are added.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_from_text\fP()

and

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_from_text_w\fP()

add new

(or merge with existing)

ACL entries from

(wide)

text. The argument

may take one of the following values:

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_NFS4

.RE

Supports all formats that can be created with

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_to_text\fP()

or respective

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_to_text_w\fP().

Existing ACL entries are preserved. To get a clean new ACL from text

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_clear\fP()

must be called first. Entries prefixed with

``default:''

are treated as

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT

unless

is

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_NFS4.

Invalid entries, non-parseable ACL entries and entries beginning with

the

Sq #

character

(comments)

are skipped.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_next\fP()

and

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_next_w\fP()

return the next entry of the ACL list.

This functions may only be called after

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_reset\fP()

has indicated the presence of extended ACL entries.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_reset\fP()

prepare reading the list of ACL entries with

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_next\fP()

or

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_next_w\fP().

The function returns either 0, if no non-extended ACLs are found.

In this case, the access permissions should be obtained by

\fBarchive_entry_mode\fP(3)

or set using

\fBchmod\fP(2).

Otherwise, the function returns the same value as

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_count\fP().

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_to_text\fP()

and

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_to_text_w\fP()

convert the ACL entries for the given type into a

(wide)

string of ACL entries separated by newline. If the pointer

is not NULL, then the function shall return the length of the string

(not including the NULL terminator)

in the location pointed to by

.

The

argument is a bitwise-or.

.PP

The following flags are effective only on POSIX.1e ACL:

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS

Output access ACLs.

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT

Output POSIX.1e default ACLs.

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_MARK_DEFAULT

Prefix each default ACL entry with the word

``default:''.

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_SOLARIS

The mask and other ACLs don not contain a double colon.

.RE

.PP

The following flags are effecive only on NFSv4 ACL:

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_COMPACT

Do not output minus characters for unset permissions and flags in NFSv4 ACL

permission and flag fields.

.RE

.PP

The following flags are effective on both POSIX.1e and NFSv4 ACL:

.RS 5

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_EXTRA_ID

Add an additional colon-separated field containing the user or group id.

.TP

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_SEPARATOR_COMMA

Separate ACL entries with comma instead of newline.

.RE

.PP

If the archive entry contains NFSv4 ACLs, all types of NFSv4 ACLs are returned.

It the entry contains POSIX.1e ACLs and none of the flags

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS

or

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT

are specified, both access and default entries are returned and default entries

are prefixed with

``default:''.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_types\fP()

get ACL entry types contained in an archive entry's ACL. As POSIX.1e and NFSv4

ACL entries cannot be mixed, this function is a very efficient way to detect if

an ACL already contains POSIX.1e or NFSv4 ACL entries.

.SH RETURN VALUES

.ad l

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_count\fP()

and

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_reset\fP()

returns the number of ACL entries that match the given type mask.

For POSIX.1e ACLS if the type mask includes

.BR ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS

and at least one extended ACL entry exists, the three classic Unix

permissions are counted.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_from_text\fP()

and

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_from_text_w\fP()

return

.BR ARCHIVE_OK

if all entries were successfully parsed and

.BR ARCHIVE_WARN

if one or more entries were invalid or non-parseable.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_next\fP()

and

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_next_w\fP()

return

.BR ARCHIVE_OK

on success,

.BR ARCHIVE_EOF

if no more ACL entries exist

and

.BR ARCHIVE_WARN

if

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_reset\fP()

has not been called first.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_to_text\fP()

returns a string representing the ACL entries matching the given type and

flags on success or NULL on error.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_to_text_w\fP()

returns a wide string representing the ACL entries matching the given type

and flags on success or NULL on error.

.PP

\fB\%archive_entry_acl_types\fP()

returns a bitmask of ACL entry types or 0 if archive entry has no ACL entries.
