acl_init(3)
NAME
  acl_init - Allocate and initialize ACL internal working storage

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/acl.h>

  acl_t acl_init(
	  const size_t size );

LIBRARY
  Security Library (libpacl.a)

PARAMETERS
  size
      Specifies the size of the working storage in bytes.

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

  The acl_init() function allocates and initializes working storage for an
  ACL of at least size bytes.  A pointer to the working storage is returned.
  When the area is first allocated, it contains a ACL that has no ACL
  entries.

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, the acl_init() function returns a pointer to
  the working storage.	Otherwise, a NULL pointer is returned and errno is
  set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
  If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_init() function returns a
  value of NULL and sets errno to the corresponding value:

  [ENOMEM]
      The acl_t to be returned requires more memory than allowed by the
      hardware or system-imposed memory management constraints.

  [ENOSYS]
      The function is not supported by the implementation.
