NAME

       acl_get_permset — retrieve the permission set from an ACL entry

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

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

       int
       acl_get_permset(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_permset_t *permset_p);

DESCRIPTION

       The  acl_get_permset()  function returns in permset_p a descriptor to the permission set in the ACL entry
       indicated by entry_d.  Subsequent operations using the returned permission set descriptor operate on  the
       permission set within the ACL entry.

       Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by entry_d shall continue to refer to those
       entries.

RETURN VALUE

       The  acl_get_permset() 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_get_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.

STANDARDS

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