NAME

       acl_copy_entry — copy an ACL entry

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int
       acl_copy_entry(acl_entry_t dest_d, acl_entry_t src_d);

DESCRIPTION

       The  acl_copy_entry()  function copies the contents of the ACL entry indicated by the src_d descriptor to
       the existing ACL entry indicated by the dest_d descriptor. The src_d and dest_d descriptors may refer  to
       entries in different ACLs.

RETURN VALUE

       The  acl_copy_entry()  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_copy_entry() function returns -1 and sets errno to  the
       corresponding value:

       [EINVAL]           The argument src_d or dest_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry.

                          The arguments src_d and dest_d reference the same ACL entry.
