NAME
acl_get_perm - test for a permission in an ACL permission set
LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <acl/libacl.h>
int
acl_get_perm(acl_permset_t permset_d, acl_perm_t perm);
DESCRIPTION
The acl_get_perm() function tests if the permission specified by the
argument perm is contained in the ACL permission set pointed to by the
argument permset_d.
Any existing descriptors that refer to permset_d continue to refer to
that permission set.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, the acl_get_perm() function returns 1 if the permission
specified by perm is contained in the ACL permission set permset_d, and 0
if the permission is not contained in the permission set. 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_get_perm() function
returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EINVAL] The argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a
permission set within an ACL entry.
The argument perm is not a valid acl_perm_t value.
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).
