site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com James, An ACE contains an identity, a type and a set of permissions. This means that a single ACE can allow OR deny more than one permission but it can't allow AND deny. "jmzorko deny write allow read allow execute" breaks down into 2 ACES: jmzorko deny write jmzorko allow read execute If you rewrite ACLs, remember to preserve the canonical ordering (see chmod(1)) because there's no API in the system to do that for you.

Darwin-dev mailing list (Darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/darwin-dev/site_archiver%40lists.app… Wow -- thanks for the info, it is appreciated. I have to do a Win32 implementation of this class (and possibly one for Linux, depending on how close OSX is to it regarding ACLs), so that site will help. I will also need to eventually restore the ACLs back to a file, so thanks on the tip of making sure to preserve the correct order. I've another question about ACLs and the acl_* APIs. If acl_get_tag_type() succeeds (returns 0), can acl_get_permset() fail? If acl_get_permset() succeeds, can acl_get_perm_np() fail? I guess the bigger question is, "Is an ACL with an ACE with a tag type but no permset worth saving at all?" Darwin ACLs follow the Windows ACL model pretty closely, so the description of ACL structure here <http://alt.pluralsight.com/wiki/default.aspx/Keith.GuideBook/WhatIsAnAccess… > is quite applicable.

While learning how to read the ACL of a file / directory, I learned a lot just by looking at the source for the Darwin 'ls' command. However, i've a question. The 'ls' source (print.c:321) has a for loop that does something like this for each ACE in an ACL: for (i = 0, first = 0; acl_perms[i].name != NULL; i++) { if (acl_get_perm_np(perms, acl_perms[i].perm) == 0) continue; if (!(acl_perms[i].flags & (isdir ?

But it was giving error. I am creating an universal binary to support 10.4 and 10.5. As I observed, the CoreServices includes the LaunchServices in 10.5, not in 10.4. So is it giving error due to this? or am I making any mistake in including the files. I have already included the CoreServices framework.
