DESCRIPTION

     The acl_clear_perms() function clears all permissions from the permission set referred to by

     returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

     errno to the corresponding value:

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