acl_size(3)
NAME
  acl_size - Determines the size of the contiguous, persistent representation
  of the given ACL

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/acl.h>

  ssize_t acl_size(
	  acl_t acl_d );

LIBRARY
  Security Library (libpacl.a)

PARAMETERS
  acl_d
      The working storage internal representation of an ACL that the
      contiguous, persistent representation size is desired on.

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

  Given an ACL, the acl_size() function determines the number of bytes
  required for storing the ACL if converted to contiguous, persistent
  representation using acl_copy_ext().

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, the acl_size function returns the size of the
  ACL.	Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the
  error.

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

  [EINVAL]
      The acl_d argument does not point to an ACL structure.
