Filesystem access rights
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
All access rights are tied to an inode and what can be accessed through it.
|
||||
Reading the content of a directory doesn't imply to be allowed to read the
|
||||
content of a listed inode. Indeed, a file name is local to its parent
|
||||
directory, and an inode can be referenced by multiple file names thanks to
|
||||
(hard) links. Being able to unlink a file only has a direct impact on the
|
||||
directory, not the unlinked inode. This is the reason why
|
||||
`LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REMOVE_FILE` or `LANDLOCK_ACCESS_FS_REFER` are not allowed
|
||||
to be tied to files but only to directories.
