acl_copy_ext(3) Library Functions Manual acl_copy_ext(3) NAME acl_copy_ext - copies the ACL from system managed space to user managed space. LIBRARY Security Library (libpacl.a) SYNOPSIS #include <sys/acl.h> int acl_copy_ext( void *buf_p, acl_t acl_d, ssize_t size); PARAMETERS User space to copy the data package (contiguous) internal representa- tion of the ACL to. Specifies the working storage internal representa- tion ACL entry in system managed space to copy. Indicates the size of the buffer pointed to by buf_p. DESCRIPTION NOTE: This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 stan- dard. The function may change as the P1003.6 standard is finalized. The acl_copy_ext() function copies the contents of the ACL in system managed space, pointed to by acl_d, into user space pointed to by buf_p. The ACL copied into user space is contiguous and is not NULL terminated. RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the acl_copy_entry function returns the size of the ACL copied. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_copy_ext() function sets errno to the corresponding value: The size parameter is zero or negative. The ACL referenced by acl_d contains one or more improperly formed ACL entries, or for some other reason can not be translated into the exter- nal format. The size parameter is greater then 0 but smaller then the ACL to be copied. RELATED INFORMATION acl_copy_int(3), acl_size(3) Security delim off acl_copy_ext(3)
