NAME

     acl_set_permset - set the permission set in an ACL entry

LIBRARY

     Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     int
     acl_set_permset(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_permset_t permset_d);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_set_permset() function sets the permission set of the ACL entry
     indicated by the argument entry_d to the permissions contained in the
     argument permset_d.

     Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry containing the
     permission set referred to by permset_d shall continue to refer to those
     entries. Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by
     entry_d shall continue to refer to that entry.

RETURN VALUE

     The acl_set_permset() 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_permset() 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 argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a
                        permission set within an ACL entry.

                        The argument permset_d contains values which are not
                        valid acl_permset_t values.
