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


SYNOPSIS

     int
     acl_free(void *obj_p)


DESCRIPTION

     The acl_free() function frees any releasable memory currently allocated
     by to the ACL data object identified by obj_p. The argument obj_p may
     identify an ACL, an ACL entry qualifier, or a pointer to a string allo­
     cated by the acl_to_text() function.


RETURN VALUE

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


ERRORS

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

     [EINVAL]      The value of the argument obj_p is invalid.


STANDARDS

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