Method Documentation

__init__	(	self,
		QString	aclString
	)

Creates a new KACL from aclString. If the string is a valid acl string, isValid() will afterwards return true.

__init__	(	self,
		KACL	rhs
	)

Copy ctor

__init__	(	self,
		long	basicPermissions
	)

Creates a new KACL from the basic permissions passed in basicPermissions. isValid() will return true, afterwards.

__init__ ( self )

Creates an empty KACL. Until a valid acl string is set via setACL, isValid() will return false.

[(QString,int)] allGroupPermissions ( self )

Returns the list of all group permission entries. Each entry consists of a name/permissions pair. This is a QPair, therefor access is provided via the .first and .next members.

Returns:: the list of all group permission entries.

[(QString,int)] allUserPermissions ( self )

Returns the list of all group permission entries. Each entry consists of a name/permissions pair. This is a QPair, therefore access is provided via the .first and .next members.

Returns:: the list of all group permission entries.

QString asString ( self )

Return a string representation of the ACL.

Returns:: a string version of the ACL in the format compatible with libacl and POSIX 1003.1e. Implementations conforming to that standard should be able to take such strings as input.

long basePermissions ( self )

Returns:: the basic (owner/group/others) part of the ACL as a mode_t

bool isExtended ( self )

Return whether the ACL contains extended entries or can be expressed using only basic file permissions.

Returns:: whether the ACL contains extended entries

bool isValid ( self )

Returns whether the KACL object represents a valid acl.

Returns:: whether the KACL object represents a valid acl.

int, bool exists maskPermissions ( self )

Return the entry for the permissions mask if there is one and sets exists to true. If there is no such entry, exists is set to false.

Returns:: the permissions mask entry

int, bool exists namedGroupPermissions	(	self,
		QString	name
	)

Access to the permissions entry for a named group, if such an entry exists. If exists is non-null, the boolean variable it points to is set to true if a matching entry exists and to false otherwise.

Returns:: the permissions for a group with the name in name

int, bool exists namedUserPermissions	(	self,
		QString	name
	)

Access to the permissions entry for a named user, if such an entry exists. If exists is non-null, the boolean variable it points to is set to true if a matching entry exists and to false otherwise.

Returns:: the permissions for a user entry with the name in name

bool operator !=	(	self,
		KACL	rhs
	)

bool operator ==	(	self,
		KACL	rhs
	)

int othersPermissions ( self )

Returns:: the premissions entry for others

int ownerPermissions ( self )

Returns:: the owner's premissions entry

int owningGroupPermissions ( self )

Returns:: the owning group's premissions entry

bool setACL	(	self,
		QString	aclStr
	)

Sets the whole list from a string. If the string in aclStr represents a valid ACL, it will be set, otherwise the ACL remains unchanged.

Returns:: whether setting the ACL was successful.

bool setAllGroupPermissions	(	self,
		[(QString,int)]	a0
	)

Replace the list of all user permissions with list. If one of the entries in the list does not exists, or setting of the ACL entry fails for any reason, the ACL will be left unchanged.

Returns:: success or failure

bool setAllUserPermissions	(	self,
		[(QString,int)]	list
	)

Replace the list of all user permissions with list. If one of the entries in the list does not exists, or setting of the ACL entry fails for any reason, the ACL will be left unchanged.

Returns:: success or failure

bool setMaskPermissions	(	self,
		int	a0
	)

Set the permissions mask for the ACL. Permissions set for individual entries will be masked with this, such that their effective permissions are the result of the logical and of their entry and the mask.

Returns:: success or failure

bool setNamedGroupPermissions	(	self,
		QString	name,
		int	a1
	)

Set the permissions for a group with the name name. Will fail if the group doesn't exist, in which case the ACL be unchanged.

Returns:: success or failure.

bool setNamedUserPermissions	(	self,
		QString	name,
		int	a1
	)

Set the permissions for a user with the name name. Will fail if the user doesn't exist, in which case the ACL will be unchanged.

Returns:: success or failure.

bool setOthersPermissions	(	self,
		int	a0
	)

Set the permissions entry for others.

Returns:: success or failure

bool setOwnerPermissions	(	self,
		int	a0
	)

Set the owner's permissions entry.

Returns:: success or failure

bool setOwningGroupPermissions	(	self,
		int	a0
	)

Set the owning group's permissions entry.

Returns:: success or failure
