The fd_fdstat_set_rights()
function is used to set the rights of a file descriptor. It allows modifying the access rights associated with the file descriptor by applying new rights or removing existing rights.
In POSIX systems, file descriptors are associated with access rights that define the operations that can be performed on the file or resource represented by the descriptor. These access rights control actions such as reading, writing, or seeking within the file. The fd_fdstat_set_rights()
function enables applications to modify the access rights associated with a file descriptor, restricting or expanding the available operations.
Note
The fd_fdstat_set_rights()
function is used to modify the access rights associated with a file descriptor. It allows applications to set or remove rights from the file descriptor. However, it can only be used to remove rights, not add new ones.
Please note that when setting new rights, they must be a subset of the current rights. If any of the new rights are not included in the current rights, the function will return Errno::Notcapable
