The acl_copy_entry() function copies the contents of the ACL entry indicated by the src_d descriptor to the existing ACL entry indicated by the dest_d descriptor. The src_d and dest_d descriptors may refer to entries in different ACLs.

If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_copy_entry() function returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value: [EINVAL] The argument src_d or dest_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry. The arguments src_d and dest_d reference the same ACL entry.
