—
create an ACL from text
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
#include

#include <sys/acl.h>
acl_t
acl_from_text
(const
char *buf_p);
The
acl_from_text
()
function converts the text form of an ACL referred to by
buf_p into the internal working structure for ACLs,
appropriate for applying to files or manipulating.
This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling acl_free(3) with the (void *)acl_t as an argument.
The ACL_TYPE_EXTENDE text format differs from the POSIX.1e format, and this function will not translate between formats.
Upon successful completion, the function shall return a pointer to the internal representation of the ACL in working storage. Otherwise, a value of (acl_t)NULL shall be returned, and errno shall be set to indicate the error.
If any of the following conditions occur, the
acl_from_text
() function shall return a value of
(acl_t)NULL and set errno to the
corresponding value:
POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
