ACL_DELETE_ENTRY(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				       ACL_DELETE_ENTRY(3)

NAME

     acl_delete_entry, acl_delete_entry_np -- delete an ACL entry from an ACL

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

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

     int
     acl_delete_entry(acl_t acl, acl_entry_t entry_d);

     int
     acl_delete_entry_np(acl_t acl, int index);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_delete_entry() function is a POSIX.1e call that removes the ACL entry entry_d from ACL acl.  The acl_delete_entry_np() function is a
     non-portable version that removes the ACL entry at position index from ACL acl.  Positions are numbered starting from zero, i.e. calling
     acl_delete_entry_np() with index argument equal to zero will remove the first ACL entry.

RETURN VALUES

     The acl_delete_entry() 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_delete_entry() function fails if:

     [EINVAL]		Argument acl does not point to a valid ACL.  Argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry in acl.  Argument
			index is out of bounds.
