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.

“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).
