.Dd April 13, 2001 .Dt ACL_GET_ENTRY 3 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm acl_get_entry .Nd retrieve an ACL entry from an ACL .Sh LIBRARY .Lb libc .Sh SYNOPSIS n sys/types.h n sys/acl.h .Ft int .Fn acl_get_entry "acl_t acl" "int entry_id" "acl_entry_t *entry_p" .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn acl_get_entry function is a POSIX.1e call that retrieves a descriptor for an ACL entry specified by the argument .Fa entry_d within the ACL indicated by the argument .Fa acl .
p If the value of .Fa entry_id is .Dv ACL_FIRST_ENTRY , then the function will return in .Fa entry_p a descriptor for the first ACL entry within .Fa acl . If a call is made to .Fn acl_get_entry with .Fa entry_id set to .Dv ACL_NEXT_ENTRY when there has not been either an initial successful call to .Fn acl_get_entry , or a previous successful call to .Fn acl_create_entry , .Fn acl_delete_entry , .Fn acl_dup , .Fn acl_from_text , .Fn acl_get_fd , .Fn acl_get_file , .Fn acl_set_fd , .Fn acl_set_file , or .Fn acl_valid , then the result is unspecified. .Sh RETURN VALUES If the .Fn acl_get_entry function successfully obtains an ACL entry, a value of 1 is returned. If the ACL has no ACL entries, the .Fn acl_get_entry returns a value of 0. If the value of .Fa entry_id is .Dv ACL_NEXT_ENTRY and the last ACL entry in the ACL has already been returned by a previous call to .Fn acl_get_entry , a value of 0 will be returned until a successful call with .Fa entry_id of .Dv ACL_FIRST_ENTRY is made. Otherwise, a value of -1 will be returned and the global variable .Va errno will be set to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS The .Fn acl_get_entry fails if: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL Argument .Fa acl does not point to a valid ACL. Argument .Fa entry_id is neither .Dv ACL_FIRST_ENTRY nor .Dv ACL_NEXT_ENTRY . .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr acl 3 , .Xr acl_calc_mask 3 , .Xr acl_create_entry 3 , .Xr acl_delete_entry 3 , .Xr acl_dup 3 , .Xr acl_from_text 3 , .Xr acl_get_fd 3 , .Xr acl_get_file 3 , .Xr acl_init 3 , .Xr acl_set_fd 3 , .Xr acl_set_file 3 , .Xr acl_valid 3 , .Xr posix1e 3 .Sh STANDARDS POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. .Sh HISTORY POSIX.1e support was introduced in .Fx 4.0 .
