ACL_GET_PERMSET(3)      BSD Library Functions Manual      ACL_GET_PERMSET(3)

NAME         top

     acl_get_permset — retrieve the permission set from an ACL entry

LIBRARY         top

     Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS         top

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>
     int
     acl_get_permset(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_permset_t *permset_p);

DESCRIPTION         top

     The acl_get_permset() function returns in permset_p a descriptor to the
     permission set in the ACL entry indicated by entry_d.  Subsequent oper‐
     ations using the returned permission set descriptor operate on the per‐
     mission set within the ACL entry.
     Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by
     entry_d shall continue to refer to those entries.

RETURN VALUE         top

     The acl_get_permset() function returns the value 0 if successful; oth‐
     erwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to
     indicate the error.

ERRORS         top

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_permset() func‐
     tion returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
     [EINVAL]           The argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for
                        an ACL entry.

STANDARDS         top

     IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 (“POSIX.1e”, abandoned)
