explain_acl_set_fd_or_die(3)
Description
The explain_acl_set_fd_or_die function is used to call the acl_set_fd(3) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_acl_set_fd(3) function, and then the
process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).
The explain_acl_set_fd_on_error function is used to call the acl_set_fd(3) system call. On failure an
explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_acl_set_fd(3) function, but still
returns to the caller.
fildes The fildes, exactly as to be passed to the acl_set_fd(3) system call.
acl The acl, exactly as to be passed to the acl_set_fd(3) system call.
Example
The explain_acl_set_fd_or_die function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following
example:
explain_acl_set_fd_or_die(fildes, acl);
