NAME
acl_add_perm -- add a permission to an ACL permission set LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/acl.h> int acl_add_perm(acl_permset_t permset_d, acl_perm_t perm); DESCRIPTION
The acl_add_perm() function adds the permission contained in the argument perm to the permission set referred to by the argument permset_d. An attempt to add a permission that is already contained in the permission set is not considered an error. Any existing descriptors that refer to permset_d continue to refer to that permission set. RETURN VALUE
The acl_add_perm() 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
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_add_perm() function returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value: [EINVAL] The argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a permission set within an ACL entry. The argument perm does not contain a valid acl_perm_t value. STANDARDS
