acl_copy_int()

Copy an ACL from user space to system space

Synopsis:

#include <sys/acl.h>

Arguments:

Library:

libc

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.
