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 Issues

Although this libary uses FFI, the instance methods will probably not work
when using JRuby because of the underlying use of file descriptors. However,
the singleton methods should work.

Future Plans

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