Makes sense. I'll try to come up with a description general enough to apply to all potential platforms. >> +DEFUN ("file-acl", Ffile_acl, Sfile_acl, 1, 1, 0, >> + doc: /* Return ACL entries of file named FILENAME, as a string. >> +Return nil if file does not exist or is not accessible, or if Emacs was >> +not compiled with ACL support. */) > The last sentence of the doc string is inaccurate, because remote > files are supported even if Emacs was not built with ACL support. Yes... if there's an implementation of file-acl for the remote handler. This bit was inherited from the SELinux functions, which have a similar docstring. I'm not sure how to phrase it better, though. Thanks!
