NAME

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

10     #include <sys/types.h>
11     #include <acl/libacl.h>

DESCRIPTION

17     The acl_error() function converts an ACL error code such as returned by
18     the acl_check() function to a text message describing the error condi‐
19     tion. In the “POSIX” locale, acl_check() returns the following descrip‐
20     tions for the error codes.
21
22     ACL_MULTI_ERROR       “Multiple entries”
23
24     ACL_DUPLICATE_ERROR   “Duplicate entries”
25
26     ACL_MISS_ERROR        “Missing or wrong entry”
27
28     ACL_ENTRY_ERROR       “Invalid entry type”
29

RETURN VALUE

31     The acl_error() function returns a text message if the error code is rec‐
32     ognized, and a value of (const char *)NULL otherwise.
33

STANDARDS

35     This is a non-portable, Linux specific extension to the ACL manipulation
36     functions defined in IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 (“POSIX.1e”, abandoned).
