31.Sh NAME
32.Nm acl_free
33.Nd Free ACL working state
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
36.Fd #include <sys/acl.h>
37.Ft int
38.Fn acl_free "void *obj_p"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Fn acl_free
42call allows the freeing of ACL working space, such as is allocated by
43.Xr acl_dup 3 ,
44or
45.Xr acl_from_text 3 .
46.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
47FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
48development at this time.
49.Sh RETURN VALUES
50In the event of success, 0 is returned.  In the event of failure, -1 is
51returned, and
52.Va errno
53is set to indicate the error.
54.Sh ERRORS
55If any of the following conditions occur, the
56.Fn acl_free
57function shall return -1 and set
58.Va errno
59to the corresponding value:
60.Bl -tag -width Er
61.It Bq Er EINVAL
62The value of the
63.Va obj_p
64argument is invalid.

73.Sh STANDARDS
74POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.  Discussion
75of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
76mailing list.  To join this list, see the FreeBSD POSIX.1e implementation
77page for more information.
78.Sh HISTORY
79POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0, and development continues.

81Robert N M Watson
82.Sh BUGS
83These features are not yet fully implemented.  In particular, the shipped
84version of UFS/FFS does not support storage of additional security labels,
85and so is unable to (easily) provide support for most of these features.
