# `AceFlags` enum

Inheritance and audit flags applicable to an Access Control Entry.

## Values

| Enum Value | Description |
|---|---|
| `OBJECT_INHERIT` | The entry is inherited by non-container children (Windows OI / Darwin file_inherit). |
| `CONTAINER_INHERIT` | The entry is inherited by container children (Windows CI / Darwin directory_inherit). |
| `NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT` | Inheritance stops at direct children; grandchildren do not inherit (Windows NP / Darwin limit_inherit). |
| `INHERIT_ONLY` | The entry applies only to children via inheritance, not to the object itself (Windows IO / Darwin only_inherit). |
| `INHERITED` | The entry was placed on this object by inheritance from a parent rather than set explicitly. |
| `SUCCESSFUL_ACCESS` | For SYSTEM_AUDIT entries: generate an audit record on successful access. |
| `FAILED_ACCESS` | For SYSTEM_AUDIT entries: generate an audit record on denied access. |
| `DEFER_INHERIT` | Darwin chmod-style flag instructing the kernel to defer inheritance resolution to file-creation time. |
| `NO_INHERIT` | Darwin flag indicating the entry should not be inherited by any children regardless of other flags. |
