== 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: 
<dl> 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_READ (.B r ) 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_WRITE (.B w ) 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_EXECUTE (.B x ) 
</dd></dl> 
The permissions correspond to the normal Unix permissions. 

The 
specifies the principal to which the permission applies. 
Valid values are: 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER 
The user specified by the name field. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER_OBJ 
The owner of the file. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP 
The group specied by the name field. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP_OBJ 
The group who owns the file. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_MASK 
The maximum permissions to be obtained via group permissions. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_OTHER 
Any principal who is not file owner or a member of the owning group. 
</dd> 

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: 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALLOW 
Allow principal to perform actions requiring given permissions. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DENY 
Prevent principal from performing actions requiring given permissions. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_AUDIT 
Log access attempts by principal which require given permissions. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALARM 
Trigger a system alarm on access attempts by principal which require given 
permissions. 
</dd> 

The 
specifies the principal to which the permission applies. 
Valid values are: 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER 
The user specified by the name field. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_USER_OBJ 
The owner of the file. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP 
The group specied by the name field. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_GROUP_OBJ 
The group who owns the file. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_EVERYONE 
Any principal who is not file owner or a member of the owning group. 
</dd> 

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: 
<dl>

=== 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 enry 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 
<dl> 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT 
</dd></dl> 
for POSIX.1e ACLs and 
<dl> 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALLOW 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DENY 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_AUDIT 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ALARM 
</dd></dl> 
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-extened 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: 
<dl> 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_NFS4 
</dd></dl> 
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 
[[ManPageArchiveEntryMode3]] 
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 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: 
<dl> 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_ACCESS 
Output access ACLs. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT 
Output POSIX.1e default ACLs. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_MARK_DEFAULT 
Prefix each default ACL entry with the word 
"default:". 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_SOLARIS 
The mask and other ACLs don not contain a double colon. 
</dd></dl> 

The following flags are effecive only on NFSv4 ACL: 
<dl> 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_COMPACT 
Do not output minus characters for unset permissions and flags in NFSv4 ACL 
permission and flag fields. 
</dd></dl> 

The following flags are effective on both POSIX.1e and NFSv4 ACL: 
<dl> 
<dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_EXTRA_ID 
Add an additional colon-separated field containing the user or group id. 
</dd><dt></dt><dd> 
ARCHIVE_ENTRY_ACL_STYLE_SEPARATOR_COMMA 
Separate ACL entries with comma instead of newline. 
</dd></dl> 

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.
