31 /* Set the access control lists of a file to match *exactly* MODE (this might
32 remove inherited ACLs). Note chmod() tends to honor inherited/default
33 ACLs. If DESC is a valid file descriptor, use file descriptor operations
34 where available, else use filename based operations on NAME. If access
35 control lists are not available, fchmod the target file to MODE. Also
36 sets the non-permission bits of the destination file
37 (S_ISUID, S_ISGID, S_ISVTX) to those from MODE if any are set.
38 Return 0 if successful. On failure, output a diagnostic, set errno and
42 xset_acl (char const *name
, int desc
, mode_t mode
)
44 int ret
= qset_acl (name
