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_FREE(3)

The acl_free() function frees any releasable memory currently allocated by to the ACL data object identified by obj_p. The argument obj_p may identify an ACL, an ACL entry qualifier, or a pointer to a string allocated by the acl_to_text() function.

If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_free() function returns the value -1 and and sets errno to the corresponding value: [EINVAL] The value of the argument obj_p is invalid.
