SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <sys/acl.h>

       int acl_set_permset(

       Specifies  the  descriptor of the working storage internal
       representation of an ACL entry.  Points to a working storage
 internal representation of file permission bits.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

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

       Given a pointer to an  ACL  entry,  the  acl_set_permset()
       function  sets the permissions. Any permissions in the ACL
       entry before the call to  acl_set_permset()  are  replaced
       with the new set of permissions.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       Upon successful completion, the acl_set_permset() function
       returns a value of 0 (zero).  Otherwise, a value of -1  is
       returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       If  the  following conditions occur, the acl_set_permset()
       function  sets  errno  to  the  corresponding  value:  The
       entry_d parameter does not refer to a valid ACL entry.

              The permset_d parameter does not contain valid file
              permission bits.
