/**
 * @brief A version of @c open that is completely symlink-safe when
 *   used with the @c O_NOFOLLOW flag.
 *
 * The @c openat function exists to ensure that you can anchor one
 * path to a particular directory while opening it; however, if you
 * open "b/c/d" relative to "/a", then even the @c openat function will
 * still follow symlinks in the "b" component. This can be exploited
 * by an attacker to make you open the wrong path.
 *
 * To avoid that problem, this function uses a recursive
 * implementation that opens every path from the root, one level at a
 * time. So "a" is opened relative to "/", and then "b" is opened
 * relative to "/a", and then "c" is opened relative to "/a/b",
 * etc. When the @c O_NOFOLLOW flag is used, this approach ensures
 * that no symlinks in any component are followed.
 *
 * @param pathname
 *   The path to the file/directory/whatever whose descriptor you want.
 *
 * @param flags
 *   File status flags to be passed to @c openat.

/**
 * @brief The friendly interface to @c apply_default_acl_ex.
 *
 * The @c apply_default_acl_ex function holds the real implementation
 * of this function, but it takes a weird second argument that most
 * people won't care about (a stat structure). But, we use that
 * argument for the recursive mode of the CLI, so it's there.
 *
 * If you don't have a stat structure for your @c path, use this instead.
 *
 * @param path
 *   The path whose ACL we would like to reset to its default.
 *
 * @param no_exec_mask
 *   The value (either true or false) of the --no-exec-mask flag.
 *
 * @return
 *   - @c ACL_SUCCESS - The parent default ACL was inherited successfully.
 *   - @c ACL_FAILURE - If symlinks or hard links are encountered.
 *     or the parent of @c path is not a directory.
 *   - @c ACL_ERROR - Unexpected library error.
