SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/acl.h>

int acl_valid( struct acl *aclp);

DESCRIPTION

Check that the format of an ACL is valid.

First, aclp must be non null. The three required entries (ACL_USER_OBJ, ACL_GROUP_OBJ, and ACL_OTHER_OBJ) must exist exactly once in the ACL. If the ACL contains any ACL_USER, ACL_GROUP, or any implementation­defined entries in the file group class, then one ACL_MASK entry is required. The ACL may contain at most one ACL_MASK entry.

The qualifier field must be unique among all entries of the same type.

RETURN VALUES

acl_valid returns 0 if the ACL is valid, ­1 otherwise.

ERRORS

EINVAL ACL is not valid.
