Module posix1e :: Class Entry

Class Entry

object --+
         |
        Entry

Type which represents an entry in an ACL.

The type exists only if the OS has full support for POSIX.1e Can be created either by:

>>> e = posix1e.Entry(myACL) # this creates a new entry in the ACL
>>> e = myACL.append() # another way for doing the same thing

or by:

>>> for entry in myACL:
...     print entry

Note that the Entry keeps a reference to its ACL, so even if you delete the ACL, it won't be cleaned up and will continue to exist until its Entry(ies) will be deleted.
