Since Solaris is all but dead at this point, this library is no longer being actively maintained, except perhaps for the occasional doc update. If you wish to take over maintenance, please send me an email offline and we can discuss a transfer of the repository.

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

gem install solaris-file

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'

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.

None. Please see the Notice at the top regarding the status of this library.
