acl_delete_perm — delete a permission from an ACL permission set
Contents
Description
The acl_delete_perm() function deletes the permission contained in the argument perm (one of ACL_READ,
ACL_WRITE, ACL_EXECUTE) from the permission set referred to by the argument permset_d. An attempt to
delete a permission that is not contained in the permission set is not considered an error.
Any existing descriptors that refer to permset_d continue to refer to that permission set.
Errors
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_delete_perm() function returns -1 and sets errno to the
corresponding value:
[EINVAL] The argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a permission set within an ACL
entry.
The argument perm does not contain a valid acl_perm_t value.
Library
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
