NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       acl_size  - Determines the size of the contiguous, persistent
 representation of the given ACL

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <sys/acl.h>

       ssize_t acl_size(
               acl_t acl_d );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       Security Library (libpacl.a)

PARAMETERS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

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

       The acl_d argument does not point to an ACL structure.
