Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl). The function converts the text form of the ACL referred to by into the inter‐ nal form of an ACL and returns a pointer to the working storage that contains the ACL. The function accepts as input the long text form and short text form of an ACL as described in This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer re‐ quired, by calling with the returned by as an argument. On suc‐ cess, this function returns a pointer to the working storage. 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 cannot be translated into an ACL. The to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or system‐imposed memory manage‐ ment constraints.
