acl_create_entry(3) Library Functions Manual acl_create_entry(3) NAME acl_create_entry - Create a new ACL entry LIBRARY Security Library (libpacl.a) SYNOPSIS #include <sys/acl.h> acl_entry_t acl_create_entry( acl_t *acl_p); PARAMETERS Points to the working storage internal representation ACL entry to cre- ate the new entry in. 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_create_entry() function creates a new ACL entry in the ACL pointed to by the acl_p argument. If there is insufficient space in the ACL for creating a new entry, then additional memory is allocated. The components of the new ACL entry are initialized as follows: The ACL tag type component does not contain a possible ACL tag type The tag qualifier component does not refer to any possible user ID or group ID The set of permissions does not have any permissions specified. RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the acl_create_entry() function returns the descriptor for the new entry. Otherwise, a value of NULL is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_create_entry() func- tion sets errno to the corresponding value: The acl_p argument does not refer to a valid ACL. The new ACL entry requires more memory than the system is able to provide. RELATED INFORMATION acl_delete_entry(3) Security delim off acl_create_entry(3)
