Security Library (libpacl.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/acl.h> int acl_get_tag_type( acl_entry_t entry_d); acl_tag_t *tag_type_p); PARAMETERS
The working storage internal representation ACL entry to retrieve the tag type from. The storage location to place the tag type in. DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard. The acl_get_tag_type() function retrieves the tag type for the ACL entry and stores it in a location pointed to by tag_type_p. The tag type tells what the ACL entry is (ACL_USER, ACL_USER_OBJ, ACL_GROUP, ACL_GROUP_OBJ, or ACL_OTHER_OBJ). RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the acl_get_tag_type() function returns a value of 0 (zero). Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_tag_type() function sets errno to the corresponding value: Argument entry_d does not refer to a valid ACL entry. RELATED INFORMATION
