NAME
sec_acl_calc_mask - Returns the sec_acl_type_mask_obj entry for the
specified ACL list
SYNOPSIS
#include <dce/daclif.h>
void sec_acl_calc_mask(
sec_acl_list_t *sec_acl_list,
error_status_t *status);
PARAMETERS
Input/Output
*sec_acl_list
A pointer to a sec_acl_type_t the specifies the number of ACLs of
each ACL type. The sec_acl_type_t data type distinguishes between
the various types of ACLs an object can possess for a given
manager. In the file system, for example, most objects have only
one ACL, controlling the access to that object, but objects that
control the creation of other objects (sometimes referred to as
"containers") may have more. A directory, for example, can have
ACLs to be used as initial values when member objects are created.
Do not confuse ACL types with the permissions corresponding to
different ACL manager types or with the ACL manager types them-
selves.
Output
status
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the
routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.
DESCRIPTION
The sec_acl_calc_mask() routine calculates and sets the
sec_acl_e_type_mask_obj entry of the specified ACL list. The value of
the sec_acl_e_type_mask_obj entry is the union of the permissions of all
ACL entries that refer to members of the File Group Class.
This operation is performed locally, within the client. The function
does not check to determine if the manager to which the specified ACL
list will be submitted supports the sec_acl_e_type_mask_obj entry type.
The calling application must determine whether to call this routine,
after obtaining the required, if any, POSIX semantics, via the
sec_acl_get_mgr_types_semantics() routine.
NOTES
This call is provided in source code form.
