Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). The function copies an exportable, contiguous, persistent form of an ACL, pointed to by to the internal representation. This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any re‐ leasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by call‐ ing with the returned by as an argument. Upon success, the func‐ tion returns a pointer that references the ACL in working stor‐ age. On error, a value of is returned, and is set appropriately. If any of the following conditions occur, the function returns a value of and sets to the corresponding value: The buffer pointed to by the argument does not contain a valid external form ACL. The ACL working storage requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system‐imposed memory management constraints.
