ACL_COPY_INT(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   ACL_COPY_INT(3)

NAME

     acl_copy_int -- copy an ACL from external to internal representation

LIBRARY

     Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     acl_t
     acl_copy_int(const void *buf_p);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_copy_int() function copies an exportable, contiguous, persistent form of an ACL, pointed to by buf_p, to the internal representation.

     This function may cause memory to be allocated.  The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by
     calling acl_free(3) with the (void*)acl_t returned by acl_copy_int() as an argument.

RETURN VALUE

     Upon success, the acl_copy_int() function returns a pointer that references the ACL in working storage.  On error, a value of (acl_t)NULL is
     returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_copy_int() function returns a value of (acl_t)NULL and sets errno to the corresponding
     value:

     [EINVAL]		The buffer pointed to by the argument buf_p does not contain a valid external form ACL.

     [ENOMEM]		The ACL working storage requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory management con-
			straints.

STANDARDS

     IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 ("POSIX.1e", abandoned)

ACL_FROM_TEXT(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					  ACL_FROM_TEXT(3)

NAME

     acl_from_text -- create an ACL from text

LIBRARY

     Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     acl_t
     acl_from_text(const char *buf_p);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_from_text() function converts the text form of the ACL referred to by buf_p into the internal form of an ACL and returns a pointer to
     the working storage that contains the ACL. The acl_from_text() function accepts as input the long text form and short text form of an ACL as
     described in acl(5).

     This function may cause memory to be allocated.  The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by
     calling acl_free(3) with the (void*)acl_t returned by acl_from_text() as an argument.

RETURN VALUE

     On success, this function returns a pointer to the working storage.  On error, a value of (acl_t)NULL is returned, and errno is set appropri-
     ately.

ERRORS

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_from_text() function returns a value of (acl_t)NULL and sets errno to the corresponding
     value:

     [EINVAL]		The argument buf_p cannot be translated into an ACL.

     [ENOMEM]		The acl_t to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory management con-
			straints.

STANDARDS
