LIBRARY

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

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The acl_entries() function returns the number of ACL entries that are contained in the ACL referred to by
       the argument acl.

RETURN VALUE

       The  acl_entries() function returns the number of entries in acl 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_entries() function returns -1 and  sets  errno  to  the
       corresponding value:

       [EINVAL]           The argument acl is not a valid pointer to an ACL.

STANDARDS
