The
acl_init ();
function allocates and initializes the working storage for an ACL of at
least
count
ACL entries.
A pointer to the working storage is returned.
The working
storage allocated to contain the ACL is freed by a call to
acl_free3.
When the area is first allocated, it shall contain an ACL that contains
no ACL entries.
This function may cause memory to be allocated.
The caller should free any
releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling
acl_free3
with the
(void*)acl_t
as an argument.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
Fx Ns 's
support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
development at this time.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, this function shall return a pointer to the
working storage.
Otherwise, a value of
(acl_t)NULL
shall be returned, and
errno
shall be set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the
acl_init ();
function shall return a value of
(acl_t)NULL
and set
errno
to the corresponding value:
Bq Er EINVAL
The value of count is less than zero.
Bq Er ENOMEM
The
acl_t
to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or
system-imposed memory management constraints.
POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
Discussion
of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
mailing list.

HISTORY
POSIX.1e support was introduced in
Fx 4.0 ,
and development continues.
