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


SYNOPSIS

     int
     acl_copy_entry(acl_entry_t dest_d, acl_entry_t src_d)


DESCRIPTION

     The acl_copy_entry() function copies the contents of the ACL entry indi­
     cated by the src_d descriptor to the existing ACL entry indicated by the
     dest_d descriptor. The src_d and dest_d descriptors may refer to entries
     in different ACLs.


RETURN VALUE

     The acl_copy_entry() function returns the value 0 if successful; other­
     wise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to in­
     dicate the error.


ERRORS

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_copy_entry() function
     returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:

     [EINVAL]      The argument src_d or dest_d is not a valid descriptor for
                   an ACL entry.

                   The arguments src_d and dest_d reference the same ACL en­
                   try.
