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

LIBRARY
  Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/acl.h>
  acl_entry_t acl_get_entry(
	  acl_t acl_d,

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 function may change as the P1003.6 standard is finalized.

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

  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 -1 is returned, and
  errno is set to indicate the error.

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

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