ACL_GET_TAG_TYPE(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				       ACL_GET_TAG_TYPE(3)

NAME

     acl_get_tag_type -- get the tag type of an ACL entry

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

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

     int
     acl_get_tag_type(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_tag_t *tag_type_p);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_get_tag_type() function assigns to the value pointed to by tag_type_p the tag type for the ACL entry indicated by the argument
     entry_d.

     The argument entry_d and any other ACL entry descriptors that refer to entries in the same ACL continue to refer to those entries. The order
     of all existing entries in the ACL remain unchanged.

RETURN VALUE

     The acl_get_tag_type() 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_get_tag_type() function returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:

     [EINVAL]		The argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry.

STANDARDS

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

ACL_GET_QUALIFIER(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				      ACL_GET_QUALIFIER(3)

NAME

     acl_get_qualifier -- retrieve the qualifier from an ACL entry

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

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

     void *
     acl_get_qualifier(acl_entry_t entry_d);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_get_qualifier() function retrieves the qualifier from the ACL entry indicated by the argument entry_d into working storage and
     returns a pointer to that storage.

     If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by entry_d is ACL_USER, then the value returned by acl_get_qualifier() is a pointer
     to type uid_t.  If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by entry_d is ACL_GROUP, then the value returned by
     acl_get_qualifier() is a pointer to type gid_t.  If the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by entry_d is a tag type for which a qualifier
     is not supported, acl_get_qualifier() returns a value of (void *)NULL and the function fails. Subsequent operations using the returned
     pointer operate on an independent copy of the qualifier in working storage, and will not change the qualifier of the ACL entry.

     This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new qualifier is no longer required,
     by calling acl_free() with the void * value returned by acl_get_qualifier() as an argument.

     The argument entry_d and any other ACL entry descriptors that refer to entries within the ACL containing the entry referred to by entry_d
     continue to refer to those entries. The order of all existing entries in the ACL containing the entry referred to by entry_d remains
     unchanged.

RETURN VALUE

     Upon successful completion, the function returns a pointer to the tag qualifier that was retrieved into ACL working storage. Otherwise, a
     value of (void *)NULL is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_qualifier() function returns (void *)NULL and sets errno to the corresponding value:

     [EINVAL]		The argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry.

			The value of the tag type in the ACL entry referenced by the argument entry_d is neither ACL_USER nor ACL_GROUP.

     [ENOMEM]		The value to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory management con-
			straints.

STANDARDS

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