NAME

       acl_delete_entry — delete an ACL entry

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

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

       int
       acl_delete_entry(acl_t acl, acl_entry_t entry_d);

DESCRIPTION

       The  acl_delete_entry()  function  removes the ACL entry indicated by the entry_d descriptor from the ACL
       pointed to by acl.  Any existing ACL entry descriptors that refer to  entries  in  acl  other  than  that
       referred  to  by  entry_d  continue  to refer to the same entries. The argument entry_d and any other ACL
       entry descriptors that refer to the same ACL entry are  undefined  after  this  function  completes.  Any
       existing ACL pointers that refer to the ACL referred to by acl continue to refer to the ACL.

RETURN VALUE

       The acl_delete_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_delete_entry() function returns -1 and sets errno to
       the corresponding value:

       [EINVAL]           The argument acl_p is not a valid pointer to an ACL.

                          The argument entry_d is not a valid pointer to an ACL entry.

STANDARDS

       IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 (“POSIX.1e”, abandoned)
