ACL_INIT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_INIT(3)
acl_init — initialize ACL working storage
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
acl_t
acl_init(int count);
The acl_init() function allocates and initializes the working storage
for an ACL of at least count ACL entries. The ACL created initially
contains no ACL entries. A pointer to the working storage is returned.
This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free
any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by call‐
ing acl_free(3) with the (void*)acl_t returned by acl_init() as an
argument.
On success, this function returns a pointer to the working storage. On
error, a value of (acl_t)NULL is returned, and errno is set appropri‐
ately.
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_init() function
returns a value of (acl_t)NULL and sets errno to the corresponding
value:
[EINVAL] The value of count is less than zero.
[ENOMEM] The acl_t to be returned requires more memory than
is allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory
management constraints.
