DirectoryInfo.SetAccessControl API not available in 3.0, even though it exists

If you try to go to this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.directoryinfo.setaccesscontrol?view=netcore-3.0

You get redirected to the .NET Framework 4.8 version, even though the API exists in 3.0.

Here's the API in CoreFX, it's public: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/226f57b4f2bf91822604aa73338070c601d7a0fe/src/System.IO.FileSystem.AccessControl/src/System/IO/FileSystemAclExtensions.cs#L23

I think this is a bug in Docs, @mairaw. Maybe a problem with mdoc when reflecting on the ref assemblies?

This is the same experience on apisof.net so I think it could be the assemblies list.
https://apisof.net/catalog/System.IO.DirectoryInfo.SetAccessControl(DirectorySecurity)

@safern can you check?

[carlossanlop]

@safern did you get a chance to look into this? Do you know if this API is included in the reference assemblies we pass to the Docs team?

[safern]

I looked at this and the reason why it is not shown for .NET Core is because this API was not ported directly as part of DirectoryInfo, it was added as an extension method.

https://apisof.net/catalog/System.IO.FileSystemAclExtensions.SetAccessControl(DirectoryInfo,DirectorySecurity)

https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/release/3.0/src/System.IO.FileSystem.AccessControl/ref/System.IO.FileSystem.AccessControl.cs#L17

So I'll close this by design.
