 NAME
   rdacl_replace - Replaces an ACL

 SYNOPSIS

   #include <dce/rdaclif.h>

   void rdacl_replace(
           handle_t h,
           sec_acl_component_name_t component_name,
           uuid_t *manager_type,
           sec_acl_type_t sec_acl_type,
           sec_acl_list_t *sec_acl_list,
           error_status_t *status);

 PARAMETERS

   Input

   h      A handle referring to the target object.

   component_name
          A character string containing the name of the target object.

   manager_type
          A pointer to the UUID identifying the type of the ACL manager in
          question. There may be more than one type of ACL manager
          protecting the object whose ACL is bound to the input handle.
          Use this parameter to distinguish them.  Use
          sec_acl_get_manager_types() to acquire a list of the manager
          types protecting a given object.

   sec_acl_type
          The ACL type. The sec_acl_type_t data type distinguishes the
          various types of ACLs an object can possess for a given manager
          type.  The possible values are as follows:

            +  sec_acl_type_object

            +  sec_acl_type_default_object

            +  sec_acl_type_default_container

   sec_acl_list
          The new ACL to use for the target object. This is represented by
          a pointer to the sec_acl_list_t structure containing the complete
          Access Control List.  An ACL contains a list of ACL entries, the
          UUID of the default cell where authentication takes place
          (foreign entries in the ACL contain the name of their parent
          cell), and the UUID of the ACL manager to interpret the list.

   Output

   status
          A pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion,
          the routine returns error_status_ok.  Otherwise, it returns an
          error.

 DESCRIPTION

   The rdacl_replace() routine replaces the ACL indicated by the input
   handle with the information in the sec_acl_list parameter. ACLs are
   thought of as immutable, and in order to modify them, an editing
   application must read an entire ACL (using the sec_acl_lookup()
   routine), modify it as needed, and replace it using this routine.

 NOTES

   This call is not intended to be used by application programs.  The
   sec_acl Application Programming Interface (API) provides all the
   functionality necessary to use the ACL facility. This reference page
   is provided for programmers who wish to write an ACL manager.  In
   order to write an ACL manager, a programmer must implement the entire
   rdacl interface.

   This network interface is called on the client side via the sec_acl
   local interface. Developers are responsible for implementing the server
   side of this interface. Test server code is included as a sample
   implementation.

 FILES
     SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]RDACLIF.IDL
               The idl file from which dce/rdaclif.h was derived.

 ERRORS

   sec_acl_unknown_manager_type
               The manager type selected is not an available option.

   error_status_ok
               The call was successful.
