acl_get_permset — retrieve the permission set from an ACL entry

Derived from the FreeBSD manual pages written by Robert N M Watson <rwatson@FreeBSD.org>, and adapted for Linux by Andreas Gruenbacher <andreas.gruenbacher@gmail.com>. Linux ACL March 23, 2002 ACL_GET_PERMSET(3)

The acl_get_permset() function returns in permset_p a descriptor to the permission set in the ACL entry indicated by entry_d. Subsequent operations using the returned permission set descriptor operate on the permission set within the ACL entry. Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by entry_d shall continue to refer to those entries.

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