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


SYNOPSIS

     int
     acl_set_permset(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_permset_t permset_d)


DESCRIPTION

     The acl_set_permset() function sets the permission set of the ACL entry
     indicated by the argument entry_d to the permissions contained in the ar­
     gument permset_d.

     Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry containing the permis­
     sion set referred to by permset_d shall continue to refer to those en­
     tries. Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by
     entry_d shall continue to refer to that entry.


RETURN VALUE

     The acl_set_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_set_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.

                   The argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a per­
                   mission set within an ACL entry.

                   The argument permset_d contains values which are not valid
                   acl_permset_t values.
