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


SYNOPSIS

     int
     acl_delete_entry(acl_t acl, acl_entry_t entry_d)


DESCRIPTION

     The acl_delete_entry() function removes the ACL entry indicated by the
     entry_d descriptor from the ACL pointed to by acl. Any existing ACL entry
     descriptors that refer to entries in acl other than that referred to by
     entry_d continue to refer to the same entries. The argument entry_d and
     any other ACL entry descriptors that refer to the same ACL entry are un­
     defined after this function completes. Any existing ACL pointers that re­
     fer to the ACL referred to by acl continue to refer to the ACL.


RETURN VALUE

     The acl_delete_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_delete_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_d is not a valid pointer to an ACL en­
                   try.


STANDARDS
