ACL_VALID(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_VALID(3)
acl_valid — validate an ACL
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
int
acl_valid(acl_t acl);
The acl_valid() function checks the ACL referred to by the argument acl
for validity.
The three required entries ACL_USER_OBJ, ACL_GROUP_OBJ, and ACL_OTHER
must exist exactly once in the ACL. If the ACL contains any ACL_USER or
ACL_GROUP entries, then an ACL_MASK entry is also required. The ACL may
contain at most one ACL_MASK entry.
The user identifiers must be unique among all entries of type ACL_USER.
The group identifiers must be unique among all entries of type
ACL_GROUP.
The acl_valid() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise
the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indi‐
cate the error.
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_valid() function
returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EINVAL] The argument acl is not a valid pointer to an ACL.
The argument acl does not point to a valid ACL.
One or more of the required ACL entries is not
present in acl.
The ACL contains entries that are not unique.
