Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). The function return the size, in bytes, of the buffer required to hold the ex‐ portable, contiguous, persistent form of the ACL pointed to by the argument when converted by Any existing ACL entry descriptors that refer to entries in continue to refer to the same entries.

On success, the function returns the size in bytes of the contiguous, persistent form of the ACL. 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 argument is not a valid pointer to an ACL.
