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


SYNOPSIS

     int
     acl_get_permset(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_permset_t *permset_p)


DESCRIPTION

     The acl_get_permset() function returns in permset_p a descriptor to the
     permission set in the ACL entry indicated by entry_d. Subsequent opera­
     tions using the returned permission set descriptor operate on the permis­
     sion set within the ACL entry.

     Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by entry_d
     shall continue to refer to those entries.


RETURN VALUE

     The acl_get_permset() 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_get_permset() function
     returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:

     [EINVAL]      The argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL
                   entry.


STANDARDS
