LIBRARY
library “libc”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
int
acl_delete_entry(acl_t
acl, acl_entry_t
entry_d);
int
acl_delete_entry_np(acl_t
acl, int
index);
DESCRIPTION
Theacl_delete_entry()
function is a POSIX.1e call that removes the ACL entry
entry_d from ACL acl. The
acl_delete_entry_np()
function is a non-portable version that removes the ACL entry at position
index from ACL acl. Positions are
numbered starting from zero, i.e. calling
acl_delete_entry_np() with index
argument equal to zero will remove the first ACL entry.
RETURN VALUES
The acl_delete_entry() 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
The acl_delete_entry() function fails
if:
- [
EINVAL] - Argument acl does not point to a valid ACL. Argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry in acl. Argument index is out of bounds.
