DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The acl_free() call allows the freeing of ACL working space, such as is
     allocated by acl_dup(3), or acl_from_text(3).

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
     development at this time.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

     The acl_free() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the
     value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
     error.

     return -1 and set errno to the corresponding value:

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

     POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.  Discussion of the draft
