acl_copy_ext(3)
NAME
  acl_copy_ext - Copies the ACL from internal working space format to a
  contiguous, persistent form of the ACL

LIBRARY
  Security Library (libpacl.a)

SYNOPSIS
  #include <sys/acl.h>
  int acl_copy_ext(
	  void *buf_p,
	  acl_t acl_d,
	  ssize_t size);

PARAMETERS
  buf_p	    User space to copy the contiguous, persistent for of the ACL
	    into.

  acl_d	    Specifies the working storage, internal format ACL to copy.

  size	    Indicates the size of the buffer pointed to by buf_p.

DESCRIPTION
  NOTE:	 This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard.

  The acl_copy_ext() function copies the contents of the ACL in internal
  working space format, pointed to by acl_d, into the buffer pointed to by
  buf_p.  The ACL copied into the buffer is in contiguous, persistent
  formatxi and is not NULL terminated.

RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, the acl_copy_ext function returns the size of
  the ACL copied.  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to
  indicate the error.

ERRORS
  If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_copy_ext() function sets
  errno to the corresponding value:

  [EINVAL]		   The size parameter is zero or negative.

			   The ACL referenced by acl_d contains one or more
			   improperly formed ACL entries, or for some other
			   reason can not be translated into contiguous
			   format.


  [ERANGE]		   The size parameter is greater than 0, but smaller
			   than the ACL to be copied.
