.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBacltomode()\fR function converts an \fBACL\fR pointed to by
\fIaclbufp\fR into the permission bits buffer pointed to by \fImodep\fR. If the
\fBUSER_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry, \fBGROUP_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry, or the
\fBOTHER_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry cannot be found in  the \fBACL\fR buffer, then
the function fails with \fBerrno\fR set to \fBEINVAL\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fBUSER_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry permission bits are copied to the file owner
class bits in the permission bits buffer. The \fBOTHER_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry
permission bits are copied to the file other class bits in the permission bits
buffer. If there is a \fBCLASS_OBJ\fR (\fBACL\fR mask) entry, the
\fBCLASS_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry permission bits are copied to the file group
class bits in the permission bits buffer. Otherwise, the \fBGROUP_OBJ\fR
\fBACL\fR entry permission bits are copied to the file group class bits in the
permission bits buffer.
.sp
.LP
The \fBaclfrommode()\fR function converts the permission bits pointed to by
\fImodep\fR into an ACL pointed to by \fIaclbufp\fR. If the \fBUSER_OBJ\fR
\fBACL\fR entry, \fBGROUP_OBJ\fR ACL entry, or the \fBOTHER_OBJ\fR ACL entry
cannot be found in the \fBACL\fR buffer, the function fails with  \fBerrno\fR
set to \fBEINVAL\fR.
.sp
.LP
The file owner class bits from the permission bits buffer are copied to the
\fBUSER_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry. The file other class bits from the permission
bits buffer are copied to  the \fBOTHER_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry. If there is a
\fBCLASS_OBJ\fR (\fBACL\fR mask) entry, the file group class bits from the
permission bits buffer are copied to the \fBCLASS_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry, and
the \fBGROUP_OBJ\fR \fBACL\fR entry is not modified. Otherwise, the file group
class bits from the permission bits buffer are copied to the \fBGROUP_OBJ\fR
\fBACL\fR entry.
.sp
.LP
The \fInentries\fR argument represents the number of \fBACL\fR entries in the
buffer pointed to by \fIaclbufp\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, the function returns \fB0\fR. Otherwise, it returns
\fB\(mi1\fR and sets \fBerrno\fR to indicate the error.
