ACL_GET_FLAGSET_NP(3) Library Functions Manual ACL_GET_FLAGSET_NP(3)

acl_get_flagset_npretrieve flag set from an ACL or ACL entry

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

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

int
acl_get_flagset_np(void *obj, acl_flagset_t *flagset_p);

The () function is a nonstandard extension that returns via flagset_p a descriptor to the flag set in the ACL or ACL entry obj. Subsequent operations using the returned flag set operate on the permission set within the ACL or ACL entry.

The acl_get_flagset() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

The acl_get_flagset() function fails if:

[]
Argument obj is not a valid descriptor for an ACL or ACL entry.
