SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/acl_from_text.h>
       acl_t explain_acl_from_text_or_die(const char *text);
       acl_t explain_acl_from_text_on_error(const char *text);

DESCRIPTION

       The explain_acl_from_text_or_die function is used to call the acl_from_text(3) system call. On failure an
       explanation  will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_acl_from_text(3) function, and then the
       process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       The explain_acl_from_text_on_error function is used to call the acl_from_text(3) system call. On  failure
       an  explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_acl_from_text(3) function, but still
       returns to the caller.

       text    The text, exactly as to be passed to the acl_from_text(3) system call.

RETURN VALUE

       The explain_acl_from_text_or_die  function  only  returns  on  success,  see  acl_from_text(3)  for  more

       The   explain_acl_from_text_on_error   function   always   returns   the  value  return  by  the  wrapped
       acl_from_text(3) system call.
