34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libposix1e
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
38.Fd #include <sys/acl.h>
39.Ft int
40.Fn acl_free "void *obj_p"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn acl_free
44call allows the freeing of ACL working space, such as is allocated by
45.Xr acl_dup 3 ,
46or
47.Xr acl_from_text 3 .
48.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
49FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
50development at this time.
51.Sh RETURN VALUES
52In the event of success, 0 is returned.  In the event of failure, -1 is
53returned, and
54.Va errno
55is set to indicate the error.
56.Sh ERRORS
57If any of the following conditions occur, the
58.Fn acl_free
59function shall return -1 and set
60.Va errno
61to the corresponding value:
62.Bl -tag -width Er

75.Sh STANDARDS
76POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.  Discussion
77of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
78mailing list.  To join this list, see the
79.Fx
80POSIX.1e implementation
81page for more information.
82.Sh HISTORY
83POSIX.1e support was introduced in
84.Fx 4.0 ,
85and development continues.

87.An Robert N M Watson
88.Sh BUGS
89These features are not yet fully implemented.  In particular, the shipped
90version of UFS/FFS does not support storage of additional security labels,
91and so is unable to (easily) provide support for most of these features.
