ACL_CREATE_ENTRY(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_CREATE_ENTRY(3)NAME
acl_create_entry acl_create_entry_np — create a new ACL entry
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
int
acl_create_entry(acl_t *acl_p, acl_entry_t *entry_p);
int
acl_create_entry_np(acl_t *acl_p, acl_entry_t *entry_p, int index);
DESCRIPTION
The acl_create_entry() function is a POSIX.1e call that creates a new ACL
entry in the ACL pointed to by acl_p. The acl_create_entry_np() function
is a non-portable version that creates the ACL entry at position index.
Positions are numbered starting from zero, i.e. calling
acl_create_entry_np() with index argument equal to zero will prepend the
entry to the ACL.
RETURN VALUES
The acl_create_entry() function returns the value 0 if successful; other‐
wise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
The acl_create_entry() function fails if:
[EINVAL] Argument acl_p does not point to a pointer to a valid
ACL. Argument index is out of bounds.
[ENOMEM] The ACL working storage requires more memory than is
allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory man‐
agement constraints.

POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
HISTORY
