== DESCRIPTION == 

The 

"Access Control Lists (ACLs)" 

extend the standard Unix perssion model. 

The ACL interface of 

'''libarchive''' 

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. 

=== 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: 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_READ (.B r ) 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE (.B w ) 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_EXECUTE (.B x ) 

The permissions correspond to the normal Unix permissions. 

The 

specifies the principal to which the permission applies. 

Valid values are: 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER 

The user specified by the name field. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER_OBJ 

The owner of the file. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP 

The group specied by the name field. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP_OBJ 

The group who owns the file. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_MASK 

The maximum permissions to be obtained via group permissions. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_OTHER 

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

The principals 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER_OBJ, 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP_OBJ 

and 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_OTHER 

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

model and specify non-extended ACL entries. 

All files with have an access ACL 

() 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS. 

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

Directories have an additional ACL 

() 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, 

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

=== NFSv4 Access Control Lists=== 

A NFSv4 ACL consists of multiple individual entries called Access Control 

Entries (ACEs). 

There are four possible types of a NFSv4 ACE: 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALLOW 

Allow principal to perform actions requiring given permissions. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DENY 

Prevent principal from performing actions requiring given permissions. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_AUDIT 

Log access attempts by principal which require given permissions. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALARM 

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

permissions. 

The 

specifies the principal to which the permission applies. 

Valid values are: 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER 

The user specified by the name field. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER_OBJ 

The owner of the file. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP 

The group specied by the name field. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP_OBJ 

The group who owns the file. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_EVERYONE 

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

Entries with the 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER 

or 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP 

tag store the user and group name in the 

string and optionally the user or group ID in the 

integer. 

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: 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_READ_DATA (.B r ) 

Read data (file). 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_LIST_DIRECTORY (.B r ) 

List entries (directory). 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE_DATA (.B w )
 

Write data (file). 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ADD_FILE (.B w )
 

Create files (directory). 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_EXECUTE (.B x ) 

Execute file or change into a directory. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_APPEND_DATA (.B p ) 

Append data (file). 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ADD_SUBDIRECTORY (.B p ) 

Create subdirectories (directory). 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_DELETE_CHILD (.B D ) 

Remove files and subdirectories inside a directory. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_DELETE (.B d ) 

Remove file or directory. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_READ_ATTRIBUTES (.B a ) 

Read file or directory attributes. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES (.B A ) 

Write file or directory attributes. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_READ_NAMED_ATTRS (.B R ) 

Read named file or directory attributes. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE_NAMED_ATTRS (.B W ) 

Write named file or directory attributes. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_READ_ACL (.B c ) 

Read file or directory ACL. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE_ACL (.B C ) 

Write file or directory ACL. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE_OWNER (.B o ) 

Change owner of a file or directory. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_SYNCHRONIZE (.B s ) 

Use synchronous I/O. 

The following NFSv4 ACL inheritance flags are supported: 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_FILE_INHERIT (.B f ) 

Inherit parent directory ACE to files. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_DIRECTORY_INHERIT (.B d ) 

Inherit parent directory ACE to subdirectories. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_INHERIT_ONLY (.B i ) 

Only inherit, do not apply the permission on the directory itself. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT (.B n ) 

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

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_SUCCESSFUL_ACCESS (.B S ) 

Trigger alarm or audit on successful access. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_FAILED_ACCESS (.B F ) 

Trigger alarm or audit on failed access. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_ENTRY_INHERITED (.B I ) 

Mark that ACE was inherited. 

=== Functions=== 

'''archive_entry_acl_add_entry'''() 

and 

'''archive_entry_acl_add_entry_w'''() 

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. 

'''archive_entry_acl_clear'''() 

removes all ACL entries and resets the enumeration pointer. 

'''archive_entry_acl_count'''() 

counts the ACL entries that have the given type mask. 

can be the bitwise-or of 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT 

for POSIX.1e ACLs and 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALLOW 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DENY 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_AUDIT 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALARM 

for NFSv4 ACLs. For POSIX.1e ACLs if 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 

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

the three non-extended ACLs are added. 

'''archive_entry_acl_from_text'''() 

and 

'''archive_entry_acl_from_text_w'''() 

add new 

(or merge with existing) 

ACL entries from 

(wide) 

text. The argument 

may take one of the following values: 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_NFS4 

Supports all formats that can be created with 

'''archive_entry_acl_to_text'''() 

or respective 

'''archive_entry_acl_to_text_w'''(). 

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

'''archive_entry_acl_clear'''() 

must be called first. Entries prefixed with 

"default:" 

are treated as 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT 

unless 

is 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_NFS4. 

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

the 

Sq # 

character 

(comments) 

are skipped. 

'''archive_entry_acl_next'''() 

and 

'''archive_entry_acl_next_w'''() 

return the next entry of the ACL list. 

This functions may only be called after 

'''archive_entry_acl_reset'''() 

has indicated the presence of extended ACL entries. 

'''archive_entry_acl_reset'''() 

prepare reading the list of ACL entries with 

'''archive_entry_acl_next'''() 

or 

'''archive_entry_acl_next_w'''(). 

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

In this case, the access permissions should be obtained by 

[[ManPagerchiventryode3]] 

or set using 

[[chmod(2)|http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=chmod&sektion=2]]. 

Otherwise, the function returns the same value as 

'''archive_entry_acl_count'''(). 

'''archive_entry_acl_to_text'''() 

and 

'''archive_entry_acl_to_text_w'''() 

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. 

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

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 

Output access ACLs. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT 

Output POSIX.1e default ACLs. 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_MARK_DEFAULT 

Prefix each default ACL entry with the word 

"default:". 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_SOLARIS 

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

The following flags are effecive only on NFSv4 ACL: 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_COMPACT 

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

permission and flag fields. 

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

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_EXTRA_ID 

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

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_SEPARATOR_COMMA 

Separate ACL entries with comma instead of newline. 

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 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 

or 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT 

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

are prefixed with 

"default:". 

'''archive_entry_acl_types'''() 

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. 

== RETURN VALUES == 

'''archive_entry_acl_count'''() 

and 

'''archive_entry_acl_reset'''() 

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

For POSIX.1e ACLS if the type mask includes 

ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 

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

permissions are counted. 

'''archive_entry_acl_from_text'''() 

and 

'''archive_entry_acl_from_text_w'''() 

return 

ARCHIVE_OK 

if all entries were successfully parsed and 

ARCHIVE_WARN 

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

'''archive_entry_acl_next'''() 

and 

'''archive_entry_acl_next_w'''() 

return 

ARCHIVE_OK 

on success, 

ARCHIVE_EOF 

if no more ACL entries exist 

and 

ARCHIVE_WARN 

if 

'''archive_entry_acl_reset'''() 

has not been called first. 

'''archive_entry_acl_to_text'''() 

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

flags on success or NULL on error. 

'''archive_entry_acl_to_text_w'''() 

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

and flags on success or NULL on error. 

'''archive_entry_acl_types'''() 

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