29.Sh NAME
30.Nm acl_equiv_mode_np
31.Nd check if ACL can be represented as UNIX permissions
32.Sh LIBRARY
33.Lb libc
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/types.h
36.In sys/acl.h
37.Ft int
38.Fn acl_equiv_mode_np "acl_t acl" "mode_t* mode_p"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Fn acl_equiv_mode_np
42function is a non-portable call which checks that entries contained in the
43.Va acl
44argument use only the ACL_USER_OBJ, ACL_GROUP_OBJ, and ACL_OTHER tag types, and that
45permissions contained in these entries consist only of ACL_READ, ACL_WRITE and
46ACL_EXECUTE.
47If the check succeeds, the ACL can be represented as traditional UNIX
48file permissions bits set.
49.Pp
50If
51.Va mode_p
52is not NULL and the check succeeds, the function fills the argument with a mode
53value corresponding to permissions contained in the ACL.
54.Sh RETURN VALUES
55Upon successful completion, the function returns 0 if the ACL can be represented
56as UNIX permissions and 1 if it is not possible.
57Otherwise, a value
58of
59.Va -1
60is returned, and
61.Va errno
62is set to indicate the error.
63.Sh ERRORS
64If any of the following conditions occur, the
65.Fn acl_equiv_mode_np
66function returns a value of
67.Va -1
68and set
69.Va errno
70to the corresponding value:
71.Bl -tag -width Er
72.It Bq Er EINVAL
73Argument
74.Fa acl
75does not point to a valid ACL.

81.Sh STANDARDS
82POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
83Discussion
84of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
85mailing list.

87.Fx
88POSIX.1e implementation
89page for more information.
90.Sh HISTORY
91POSIX.1e support was introduced in
92.Fx 4.0 ,
93and development continues.
