Overview
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.
