The
acl_size ();
function return the size, in bytes, of the buffer required to hold the exportable, contiguous, persistent form of the ACL pointed to by the argument
acl
when converted by
acl_copy_ext (.);
Any existing ACL entry descriptors that refer to entries in
acl
continue to refer to the same entries. Any existing ACL pointers that refer
to the ACL referred to by
acl
continue to refer to the ACL. The order of ACL entries within
acl
remains unchanged.
RETURN VALUE
On success, the
acl_size ();
function returns the size in bytes of the contiguous, persistent form of
the ACL. On error, a value of
(ssize_t)-1
is returned and
errno
is set appropriately.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the
acl_size ();
function returns a value of
(ssize_t)-1
and sets
errno
to the corresponding value:
Bq Er EINVAL
The argument
acl
is not a valid pointer to an ACL.
