Create an entry in an access control list

Synopsis:

#include <sys/acl.h>

int acl_create_entry( acl_t *acl_p,
                      acl_entry_t *entry_p );

acl_p: The address of a pointer to the ACL that you want to add an entry to. If acl_create_entry() needs to reallocate the entry, it updates this argument.
entry_p: A pointer to a location where the function can store a pointer to the new entry.

The ACL entry's pointer returned by acl_create_entry() becomes invalid after calling these functions:

0, or -1 if an error occurred (errno is set).

This function is based on the withdrawn POSIX draft P1003.1e.
