NAME
acl_error — convert an ACL error code to a text message
LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
SYNOPSIS
<sys/types.h> <acl/libacl.h> const char * acl_error(int code)
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).
