Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). The function retrieves the access ACL associated with the file referred to by The ACL is placed into working storage and returns a pointer to that storage. In order to read an ACL from an object, a process must have read access to the object’s attributes. 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. On success, this func‐ tion shall return a pointer to the working storage. On error, a value of shall be 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 argument is not a valid file descriptor. The ACL working storage requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system‐imposed memory manage‐ ment constraints. The file system on which the file identified by is located does not support ACLs, or ACLs are disabled.
