ACL_CHECK(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_CHECK(3) NAME acl_error — convert an ACL error code to a text message LIBRARY Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). SYNOPSIS #include <sys/types.h> #include <acl/libacl.h> const char * acl_error(int code); DESCRIPTION The acl_error() function converts an ACL error code such as returned by the acl_check() function to a text message describing the error condi- tion. In the "POSIX" locale, acl_check() returns the following descrip- tions for the error codes. ACL_MULTI_ERROR "Multiple entries" ACL_DUPLICATE_ERROR "Duplicate entries" ACL_MISS_ERROR "Missing or wrong entry" ACL_ENTRY_ERROR "Invalid entry type" RETURN VALUE The acl_error() function returns a text message if the error code is rec- ognized, and a value of (const char *)NULL otherwise. STANDARDS This is a non-portable, Linux specific extension to the ACL manipulation functions defined in IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 ("POSIX.1e", abandoned).
