DESCRIPTION
     The acl_free() function frees any releasable memory currently allocated
     by to the ACL data object identified by obj_p.  The argument obj_p may
     identify an ACL, an ACL entry qualifier, or a pointer to a string
     allocated by the acl_to_text() function.

RETURN VALUE
     The acl_free() 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_free() function returns
     the value -1 and and sets errno to the corresponding value:

     [EINVAL]           The value of the argument obj_p is invalid.
