man acl_from_text (Fonctions bibliothèques) - acl_from_text
NAME
LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The acl_from_text function converts the text form of the ACL referred to by buf_p into the internal form of an ACL and returns a pointer to the working storage that contains the ACL. The acl_from_text function accepts as input the long text form and short text form of an ACL as described in acl(5) .
This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling acl_free() with the (void*)acl_t returned by acl_from_text as an argument.
RETURN VALUE
On success, this function returns a pointer to the working storage. On error, a value of (acl_t)NULL is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_from_text function returns a value of (acl_t)NULL and sets errno to the corresponding value:
- Bq EINVAL
- The argument buf_p cannot be translated into an ACL.
- Bq ENOMEM
- The acl_t to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory management constraints.
STANDARDS
IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 (POSIX.1e, abandoned)
