Description

Adds ACL support and door methods for the File class on Solaris.

Installation

gem install solaris-file

Synopsis

require 'solaris/file'

file = 'some_file.txt'
acl_text = "user::rw-,user:nobody:r--,group::r--,group:sys:r--,mask:r--,other:r--"

File.trivial?(file) # => true (probably)
File.acl_write_text(acl_text)

# No longer a trivial file
File.trivial?(file) # => false
File.acl_read(file).each{ |acl| p acl }

# Door file?
File.door?("/var/run/syslog_door") # => true
File.ftype("/var/run/syslog_door") # => 'door'

Known Bugs

None that I am aware of. Please report any bugs using the tracker on the
project page at http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/solarisutils

Future Plans

Add acl_write methods that accept an array of ACLStruct's.
Add support for extended file attributes.
