ACL_GET_ENTRY(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_GET_ENTRY(3)
acl_get_entry — get an ACL entry
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
int
acl_get_entry(acl_t acl, int entry_id, acl_entry_t *entry_p);
The acl_get_entry() function obtains a descriptor for an ACL entry as
specified by entry_id within the ACL indicated by the argument acl. If
the value of entry_id is ACL_FIRST_ENTRY, then the function returns in
entry_p a descriptor for the first ACL entry within acl. If the value
of entry_id is ACL_NEXT_ENTRY, then the function returns in entry_p a
descriptor for the next ACL entry within acl.
If a call is made to acl_get_entry() with entry_id set to
ACL_NEXT_ENTRY when there has not been either an initial successful
call to acl_get_entry(), or a previous successful call to
acl_get_entry() following a call to acl_calc_mask(), acl_copy_int(),
acl_create_entry(), acl_delete_entry(), acl_dup(), acl_from_text(),
acl_get_fd(), acl_get_file(), acl_set_fd(), acl_set_file(), or
acl_valid(), then the effect is unspecified.
Calls to acl_get_entry() do not modify any ACL entries. Subsequent
operations using the returned ACL entry descriptor operate on the ACL
entry within the ACL in working storage. The order of all existing
entries in the ACL remains unchanged. Any existing ACL entry descrip‐
tors that refer to entries within the ACL continue to refer to those
entries. Any existing ACL pointers that refer to the ACL referred to by
acl continue to refer to the ACL.
If the function successfully obtains an ACL entry, the function returns
a value of 1. If the ACL has no ACL entries, the function returns the
value 0. If the value of entry_id is ACL_NEXT_ENTRY and the last ACL
entry in the ACL has already been returned by a previous call to
acl_get_entry(), the function returns the value 0 until a successful
call with an entry_id of ACL_FIRST_ENTRY is made. Otherwise, the value
-1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_entry() function
returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EINVAL] The argument acl_p is not a valid pointer to an ACL.
The argument entry_id is neither ACL_NEXT_ENTRY nor
ACL_FIRST_ENTRY.
