NAME

     acl_set_permset — set the permission set in an ACL entry

LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

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

     int
     acl_set_permset(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_permset_t permset_d);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_set_permset() function sets the permission set of the ACL entry indicated by the
     argument entry_d to the permissions contained in the argument permset_d.

     Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry containing the permission set referred to
     by permset_d shall continue to refer to those entries. Any ACL entry descriptors that refer
     to the entry referred to by entry_d shall continue to refer to that entry.

RETURN VALUE

     The acl_set_permset() 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_set_permset() function returns -1 and sets
     errno to the corresponding value:

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

                        The argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a permission set
                        within an ACL entry.

                        The argument permset_d contains values which are not valid acl_permset_t
                        values.
