ACL_GET_PERM(3) Library Functions Manual ACL_GET_PERM(3)

NAME

acl_get_perm
test for a permission in an ACL permission set

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The acl_get_perm() function tests if the permission specified by the argument perm is contained in the ACL permission set pointed to by the argument permset_d.
Any existing descriptors that refer to permset_d continue to refer to that permission set.

RETURN VALUE

If successful, the acl_get_perm() function returns 1 if the permission specified by perm is contained in the ACL permission set permset_d, and 0 if the permission is not contained in the permission set. 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_perm() function returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
[]
The argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a permission set within an ACL entry.
The argument perm is not a valid acl_perm_t value.

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).
