ACL_GET_FLAGSET_NP(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				     ACL_GET_FLAGSET_NP(3)

NAME

     acl_get_flagset_np -- retrieve flag set from an ACL or ACL entry

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

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

     int
     acl_get_flagset_np(void *obj, acl_flagset_t *flagset_p);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_get_flagset_np() function is a nonstandard extension that returns via flagset_p a descriptor to the flag set in the ACL or ACL entry
     obj.  Subsequent operations using the returned flag set operate on the permission set within the ACL or ACL entry.

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

     The acl_get_flagset() function fails if:

     [EINVAL]		Argument obj is not a valid descriptor for an ACL or ACL entry.
