acldelete


>>-acldelete--pathname--acltype--------------------------------><

Function

acldelete deletes an access control list (ACL) associated with pathname.

pathname

The pathname of the file or directory the ACL is associated with.

acltype

Indicates the type of ACL. This parameter can have the following values:

For regular files, the acltype must indicate it is an access ACL that is to be deleted.
For a directory, the acltype must indicate one of the three types of ACLs (access, file default, or directory default).

To delete the access ACL from the /tmp directory, this example assumes the user has set the appropriate stem variable before the call:

"acldelete /tmp/ acl." acl_type_access

For a complete example that uses several of the ACL services to list ACLs, see List the ACL entries for a file.
