Description:

The acl_copy_int() function copies an access control list from user-managed space to system-managed space. When you're finished with the ACL, you should call acl_free() to release it.

Returns:

A pointer to the ACL in working storage, or NULL if an error occurred (errno is set).

Errors:

EINVAL
The buffer doesn't contain a valid external-form ACL.
ENOMEM
There wasn't enough memory to create the ACL in working storage.
ENOTSUP
The ACL type isn't ACL_TYPE_ACCESS or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT.
