AclEntryFlag

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• AclEntryFlag defines flags for the flags component of an Access Control List (ACL) entry.

• It currently does not define flags for AclEntryType.AUDIT and AclEntryType.ALARM entry types.

• The flags control inheritance of ACL entries for newly created files and directories.

• Flags include DIRECTORY_INHERIT, FILE_INHERIT, INHERIT_ONLY, and NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT to manage how permissions are applied to new items within a directory.

• It inherits methods from java.lang.Enum, java.lang.Object, and java.lang.Comparable for object comparison and manipulation.

public final enum AclEntryFlag extends Enum<AclEntryFlag>

Defines the flags for used by the flags component of an ACL entry.

In this release, this class does not define flags related to AclEntryType.AUDIT and AclEntryType.ALARM entry types.

Inherited Method Summary

From class java.lang.Enum

final Object	clone() Throws CloneNotSupportedException.
final int	compareTo(AclEntryFlag o) Compares this enum with the specified object for order.
final boolean	equals(Object other) Returns true if the specified object is equal to this enum constant.
final void	finalize() enum classes cannot have finalize methods.
final Class<AclEntryFlag>	getDeclaringClass() Returns the Class object corresponding to this enum constant's enum type.
final int	hashCode() Returns a hash code for this enum constant.
final String	name() Returns the name of this enum constant, exactly as declared in its enum declaration.
final int	ordinal() Returns the ordinal of this enumeration constant (its position in its enum declaration, where the initial constant is assigned an ordinal of zero).
String	toString() Returns the name of this enum constant, as contained in the declaration.
static <T extends Enum<T>> T	valueOf(Class<T> enumType, String name) Returns the enum constant of the specified enum type with the specified name.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this Object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Invoked when the garbage collector has detected that this instance is no longer reachable.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the wait() methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the notify() or notifyAll() method of this object.

From interface java.lang.Comparable

abstract int

compareTo(AclEntryFlag o) Compares this object with the specified object for order.

Enum Values

public static final AclEntryFlag DIRECTORY_INHERIT

Can be placed on a directory and indicates that the ACL entry should be added to each new directory created.

public static final AclEntryFlag FILE_INHERIT

Can be placed on a directory and indicates that the ACL entry should be added to each new non-directory file created.

public static final AclEntryFlag INHERIT_ONLY

Can be placed on a directory but does not apply to the directory, only to newly created files/directories as specified by the FILE_INHERIT and DIRECTORY_INHERIT flags.

public static final AclEntryFlag NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT

Can be placed on a directory to indicate that the ACL entry should not be placed on the newly created directory which is inheritable by subdirectories of the created directory.
