 NAME
   sec_acl_replace - Replaces an ACL

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/daclif.h>

 void sec_acl_replace(
         sec_acl_handle_t h,
         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. Use sec_acl_bind() to
       create this handle.

 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 will take 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 sec_acl_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.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_acl_replace() routine requires the c (control) permission on the
 object for which the ACL is to be replaced.

 FILES
   SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]DACLIF.IDL
              The idl file from which dce/daclif.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.
