NAME

       acl_get_tag_type — get the tag type of an ACL entry

LIBRARY

       Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int
       acl_get_tag_type(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_tag_t *tag_type_p);

DESCRIPTION

       The  acl_get_tag_type()  function  assigns to the value pointed to by tag_type_p the tag type for the ACL
       entry indicated by the argument entry_d.

       The argument entry_d and any other ACL entry descriptors that refer to entries in the same  ACL  continue
       to refer to those entries. The order of all existing entries in the ACL remain unchanged.

RETURN VALUE

       The acl_get_tag_type() 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_get_tag_type() function returns -1 and sets errno to
       the corresponding value:

       [EINVAL]           The argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry.

STANDARDS

       IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 (“POSIX.1e”, abandoned)
