acl_get_entry(3)
NAME
  acl_get_entry - Returns a descriptor to an ACL entry

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/acl.h>

  acl_entry_t acl_get_entry(
	  acl_t acl_d );

LIBRARY
  Security Library (libpacl.a)

PARAMETERS
  acl_d
      Specifies the working storage internal representation ACL descriptor.

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

  The acl_get_entry() function returns a pointer to the next entry in the
  specified ACL.

  Following a call to the acl_get_fd(), acl_get_file(), acl_from_text(), or
  acl_first_entry() function, the first call to the acl_get_entry() function
  obtains the first entry in the ACL. Subsequent calls obtain successive
  entries in the ACL, until the last entry is obtained.	 After the last entry
  has been obtained, the value 0 (zero) is returned.

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, the acl_get_entry() function returns a pointer
  to the ACL entry descriptor. If the last ACL has already been returned by a
  previous call to this function, or the ACL has no ACL entries, the function
  returns a value of 0 (zero).	Otherwise, a value of NULL is returned and
  errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
  [EINVAL]
      The acl_d parameter does not refer to a valid ACL structure.

  [ENOPOSIT]
      The position of the ACL entry must be reset using the acl_first_entry()
      library routine.
