—
delete an ACL entry
LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
int
acl_delete_entry
(acl_t
acl, acl_entry_t
entry_d);
DESCRIPTION
The
acl_delete_entry
()
function removes the ACL entry indicated by the
entry_d descriptor from the ACL pointed to by
acl. Any existing ACL entry descriptors that refer to
entries in acl other than that referred to by
entry_d continue to refer to the same entries. The
argument entry_d and any other ACL entry descriptors
that refer to the same ACL entry are undefined after this function
completes. Any existing ACL pointers that refer to the ACL referred to by
acl continue to refer to the ACL.
RETURN VALUE
The acl_delete_entry
() 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_delete_entry
() function returns
-1
and sets errno to the
corresponding value:
- [
EINVAL
] - The argument acl_p is not a valid pointer to an ACL.
The argument entry_d is not a valid pointer to an ACL entry.
