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

  Given a pointer to an ACL entry, the acl_set_permset() function sets the
  permissions. Any permissions in the ACL entry before the call to
  acl_set_permset() are replaced with the new set of permissions.

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, the acl_set_permset() function returns a value
  of 0 (zero).	Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned, and errno is set to
  indicate the error.

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

  [[EINVAL]]
      The entry_d parameter does not refer to a valid ACL entry.

      The permset_d parameter does not contain valid file permission bits.
