ACL_DELETE_ENTRY(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual ACL_DELETE_ENTRY(3)
NAME
acl_delete_entry, acl_delete_entry_np - delete an ACL entry from an ACL
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/acl.h>
int
acl_delete_entry(acl_t acl, acl_entry_t entry_d);
int
acl_delete_entry_np(acl_t acl, int index);
DESCRIPTION
The acl_delete_entry() function is a POSIX.1e call that removes the ACL
entry entry_d from ACL acl. The acl_delete_entry_np() function is a non-
portable version that removes the ACL entry at position index from ACL
acl. Positions are numbered starting from zero, i.e. calling
acl_delete_entry_np() with index argument equal to zero will remove the
first ACL entry.
RETURN VALUES
The acl_delete_entry() function returns the value 0 if successful;
otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set
to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The acl_delete_entry() function fails if:
[EINVAL] Argument acl does not point to a valid ACL. Argument
entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry in
acl. Argument index is out of bounds.
