ACL_GET_FLAGSET_NP(3)    BSD Library Functions Manual    ACL_GET_FLAGSET_NP(3)

NAME
     acl_get_flagset_np -- retrieve flag set from an ACL or ACL entry

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     int
     acl_get_flagset_np(void *obj, acl_flagset_t *flagset_p);

DESCRIPTION
     The acl_get_flagset_np() function is a nonstandard extension that returns via flagset_p a descriptor to
     the flag set in the ACL or ACL entry obj.  Subsequent operations using the returned flag set operate on
     the permission set within the ACL or ACL entry.

RETURN VALUES
     The acl_get_flagset() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned
     and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     The acl_get_flagset() function fails if:

     [EINVAL]           Argument obj is not a valid descriptor for an ACL or ACL entry.
