acl_free(3) [freebsd man page]

ACL_FREE(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 					       ACL_FREE(3)

NAME

     acl_free -- free ACL working state

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

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

     int
     acl_free(void *obj_p);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_free() call allows the freeing of ACL working space, such as is allocated by acl_dup(3), or acl_from_text(3).

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under development at this time.

RETURN VALUES

     The acl_free() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indi-
     cate the error.

ERRORS

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_free() function shall return -1 and set errno to the corresponding value:

     [EINVAL]		The value of the obj_p argument is invalid.

SEE ALSO

     acl(3), acl_dup(3), acl_from_text(3), acl_get(3), acl_init(3), posix1e(3)

STANDARDS

     POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.  Discussion of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation mailing
     list.  To join this list, see the FreeBSD POSIX.1e implementation page for more information.

HISTORY

     POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0, and development continues.

     acl_free -- release memory allocated to an ACL data object

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

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

     int
     acl_free(void *obj_p);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_free() function frees any releasable memory currently allocated by to the ACL data object identified by obj_p.  The argument obj_p
     may identify an ACL, an ACL entry qualifier, or a pointer to a string allocated by the acl_to_text() function.

RETURN VALUE

     The acl_free() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indi-
     cate the error.

ERRORS

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_free() function returns the value -1 and and sets errno to the corresponding value:

     [EINVAL]		The value of the argument obj_p is invalid.

STANDARDS

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