ACL_SET_QUALIFIER(3) Library Functions Manual ACL_SET_QUALIFIER(3)
NAME
acl_set_qualifier — set the qualifier of an ACL entry
LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
SYNOPSIS
<sys/types.h> <sys/acl.h> int acl_set_qualifier(acl_entry_t
entry_d, const void *qualifier_p)
DESCRIPTION
The acl_set_qualifier() function sets the qualifier of the ACL
entry indicated by the argument entry_d to the value referred to
by the argument qualifier_p. If the value of the tag type in the
ACL entry referred to by entry_d is ACL_USER, then the value
referred to by qualifier_p shall be of type uid_t. If the value
of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by entry_d is
ACL_GROUP, then the value referred to by qualifier_p shall be of
type gid_t. If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry
referred to by entry_d is a tag type for which a qualifier is not
supported, acl_set_qualifier() returns an error.
Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by
entry_d continue to refer to that entry. This function may cause
memory to be allocated. The caller should free any releasable
memory, when the ACL is no longer required, by calling acl_free()
with a pointer to the ACL as argument.
RETURN VALUE
The acl_set_qualifier() 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
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_set_qualifier()
function returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EINVAL] The argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor
for an ACL entry.
The value of the tag type in the ACL entry
referenced by the argument entry_d is neither
ACL_USER nor ACL_GROUP.
The value pointed to by the argument
qualifier_p is not valid.
[ENOMEM] The acl_set_qualifier() function is unable to
allocate the memory required for the ACL
qualifier.
