31.Dt ACL_DUP 3
32.Os
33.Sh NAME
34.Nm acl_dup
35.Nd duplicate an ACL
36.Sh LIBRARY
37.Lb libc
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39.In sys/types.h
40.In sys/acl.h
41.Ft acl_t
42.Fn acl_dup "acl_t acl"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Fn acl_dup
46function returns a pointer to a copy of the ACL pointed to by the argument
47.Va acl .
48.Pp
49This function may cause memory to be allocated.
50The caller should free any
51releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling
52.Xr acl_free 3
53with the
54.Va (void*)acl_t
55as an argument.
56.Pp
57Any existing ACL pointers that refer to the ACL referred to by
58.Va acl
59shall continue to refer to the ACL.
60.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
61.Fx Ns 's
62support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
63development at this time.
64.Sh RETURN VALUES
65Upon successful completion, this function shall return a pointer to the
66duplicate ACL.
67Otherwise, a value of
68.Va (acl_t)NULL
69shall be returned, and
70.Va errno
71shall be set to indicate the error.
72.Sh ERRORS
73If any of the following conditions occur, the
74.Fn acl_init
75function shall return a value of
76.Va (acl_t)NULL
77and set
78.Va errno
79to the corresponding value:
80.Bl -tag -width Er
81.It Bq Er EINVAL
82Argument
83.Va acl
84does not point to a valid ACL.
85.It Bq Er ENOMEM
86The
87.Va acl_t
88to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or
89system-imposed memory management constraints.

96.Sh STANDARDS
97POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
98Discussion
99of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
100mailing list.
101To join this list, see the
102.Fx
103POSIX.1e implementation
104page for more information.
105.Sh HISTORY
106POSIX.1e support was introduced in
107.Fx 4.0 ,
108and development continues.
