NAME

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

10     #include <sys/types.h>
11     #include <sys/acl.h>
12
13     int
14     acl_delete_entry(acl_t acl, acl_entry_t entry_d);
15

DESCRIPTION

17     The acl_delete_entry() function removes the ACL entry indicated by the
18     entry_d descriptor from the ACL pointed to by acl.  Any existing ACL en‐
19     try descriptors that refer to entries in acl other than that referred to
20     by entry_d continue to refer to the same entries. The argument entry_d
21     and any other ACL entry descriptors that refer to the same ACL entry are
22     undefined after this function completes. Any existing ACL pointers that
23     refer to the ACL referred to by acl continue to refer to the ACL.
24

RETURN VALUE

26     The acl_delete_entry() function returns the value 0 if successful; other‐
27     wise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to in‐
28     dicate the error.

ERRORS

31     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_delete_entry() function
32     returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
33
34     [EINVAL]           The argument acl_p is not a valid pointer to an ACL.
35
36                        The argument entry_d is not a valid pointer to an ACL
37                        entry.
