acl_create_entry(3)
NAME
  acl_create_entry - Create a new ACL entry

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/acl.h>

  acl_entry_t acl_create_entry(
	  acl_t *acl_p );

LIBRARY
  Security Library (libpacl.a)

PARAMETERS
  acl_p
      Points to the working storage internal representation ACL to create the
      new entry in.

DESCRIPTION
  NOTE:	 This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard.

  The acl_create_entry() function creates a new ACL entry in the ACL pointed
  to by the acl_p argument.  If there is insufficient space in the ACL for
  creating a new entry, then additional memory is allocated.

  The components of the new ACL entry are initialized as follows:

    ·  The ACL tag type component does not contain a possible ACL tag type

    ·  The tag qualifier component does not refer to any possible user ID or
       group ID

    ·  The set of permissions does not have any permissions specified.

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, the acl_create_entry() function returns the
  descriptor for the new entry.	 Otherwise, a value of NULL is returned, and
  errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
  If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_create_entry() function
  sets errno to the corresponding value:

  [EINVAL]
      The acl_p argument does not refer to a valid ACL.

  [ENOMEM]
      The new ACL entry requires more memory than the system is able to
      provide.
