DESCRIPTION¶
The
acl_error
() function converts an ACL
error code such as returned by the
acl_check
() function to a text message
describing the error condition. In the “POSIX” locale,
acl_check
() returns the following
descriptions for the error codes.
- ACL_MULTI_ERROR
- “Multiple entries”
- ACL_DUPLICATE_ERROR
- “Duplicate entries”
- ACL_MISS_ERROR
- “Missing or wrong entry”
- ACL_ENTRY_ERROR
- “Invalid entry type”
RETURN VALUE¶
The
acl_error
() function returns a text
message if the error code is recognized, and a value of
(const char *)NULL
otherwise.
STANDARDS¶
This is a non-portable, Linux specific extension to the ACL manipulation
functions defined in IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 (“POSIX.1e”,
abandoned).
