AclEntry

public final class AclEntry
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ java.nio.file.attribute.AclEntry


An entry in an access control list (ACL).

The ACL entry represented by this class is based on the ACL model specified in RFC 3530: Network File System (NFS) version 4 Protocol. Each entry has four components as follows:

  1. The type component determines if the entry grants or denies access.

  2. The principal component, sometimes called the "who" component, is a UserPrincipal corresponding to the identity that the entry grants or denies access

  3. The permissions component is a set of permissions

  4. The flags component is a set of flags to indicate how entries are inherited and propagated

ACL entries are created using an associated Builder object by invoking its build method.

ACL entries are immutable and are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

Summary

Returns a copy of the flags component.

int hashCode()

Returns the hash-code value for this ACL entry.

static AclEntry.Builder newBuilder(AclEntry entry)

Constructs a new builder with the components of an existing ACL entry.

static AclEntry.Builder newBuilder()

Constructs a new builder.

Set<AclEntryPermission> permissions()

Returns a copy of the permissions component.

UserPrincipal principal()

Inherited methods

Public methods

equals

Added in API level 26
public boolean equals (Object ob)

Compares the specified object with this ACL entry for equality.

If the given object is not an AclEntry then this method immediately returns false.

For two ACL entries to be considered equals requires that they are both the same type, their who components are equal, their permissions components are equal, and their flags components are equal.

This method satisfies the general contract of the Object.equals method.

Parameters
ob Object: the object to which this object is to be compared

Returns
boolean true if, and only if, the given object is an AclEntry that is identical to this AclEntry

flags

Added in API level 26
public Set<AclEntryFlag> flags ()

Returns a copy of the flags component.

The returned set is a modifiable copy of the flags.

Returns
Set<AclEntryFlag> the flags component

hashCode

Added in API level 26
public int hashCode ()

Returns the hash-code value for this ACL entry.

This method satisfies the general contract of the Object.hashCode() method.

Returns
int a hash code value for this object.

newBuilder

Added in API level 26
public static AclEntry.Builder newBuilder (AclEntry entry)

Constructs a new builder with the components of an existing ACL entry.

Parameters
entry AclEntry: an ACL entry

Returns
AclEntry.Builder a new builder

newBuilder

Added in API level 26
public static AclEntry.Builder newBuilder ()

Constructs a new builder. The initial value of the type and who components is null. The initial value of the permissions and flags components is the empty set.

Returns
AclEntry.Builder a new builder

permissions

Added in API level 26
public Set<AclEntryPermission> permissions ()

Returns a copy of the permissions component.

The returned set is a modifiable copy of the permissions.

Returns
Set<AclEntryPermission> the permissions component

principal

Added in API level 26
public UserPrincipal principal ()

Returns the principal component.

Returns
UserPrincipal the principal component

toString

Added in API level 26
public String toString ()

Returns the string representation of this ACL entry.

Returns
String the string representation of this entry

type

Added in API level 26
public AclEntryType type ()

Returns the ACL entry type.

Returns
AclEntryType the ACL entry type
