Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). The function checks the ACL referred to by the argument for validity. The three required entries ACL_USER_OBJ, ACL_GROUP_OBJ, and ACL_OTHER must exist exactly once in the ACL. If the ACL contains any ACL_USER or ACL_GROUP entries, then an ACL_MASK entry is also re‐ quired. The ACL may contain at most one ACL_MASK entry. The user identifiers must be unique among all entries of type ACL_USER. The group identifiers must be unique among all entries of type ACL_GROUP. If any of the following conditions occur, the func‐ tion returns and sets to the corresponding value: The argument is not a valid pointer to an ACL. The argument does not point to a valid ACL. One or more of the required ACL entries is not present in The ACL contains entries that are not unique.
