NAME¶

acl_delete_perm —

LIBRARY¶

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

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h> int
acl_delete_perm(acl_permset_t permset_d, acl_perm_t perm);

DESCRIPTION¶

The acl_delete_perm() function deletes the permission contained in the argument perm from the permission set referred to by the argument permset_d. An attempt to delete a permission that is not 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_delete_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_delete_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¶

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