31.Sh NAME
32.Nm acl_get_entry
33.Nd retrieve an ACL entry from an ACL
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libc
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In sys/types.h
38.In sys/acl.h
39.Ft int
40.Fn acl_get_entry "acl_t acl" "int entry_id" "acl_entry_t *entry_p"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn acl_get_entry
44function
45is a POSIX.1e call that retrieves a descriptor for an ACL entry
46specified by the argument
47.Fa entry_d
48within the ACL indicated by the argument
49.Fa acl .
50.Pp
51If the value of
52.Fa entry_id
53is
54.Dv ACL_FIRST_ENTRY ,
55then the function will return in
56.Fa entry_p
57a descriptor for the first ACL entry within
58.Fa acl .
59If a call is made to
60.Fn acl_get_entry
61with
62.Fa entry_id
63set to
64.Dv ACL_NEXT_ENTRY
65when there has not been either an initial successful call to
66.Fn acl_get_entry ,
67or a previous successfull call to
68.Fn acl_create_entry ,
69.Fn acl_delete_entry ,
70.Fn acl_dup ,
71.Fn acl_from_text ,
72.Fn acl_get_fd ,
73.Fn acl_get_file ,
74.Fn acl_set_fd ,
75.Fn acl_set_file ,
76or
77.Fn acl_valid ,
78then the result is unspecified.
79.Sh RETURN VALUES
80If the
81.Fn acl_get_entry
82function successfully obtains an ACL entry, a value of 1 is returned.
83If the ACL has no ACL entries, the
84.Fn acl_get_entry
85returns a value of 0.  If the value of
86.Fa entry_id
87is
88.Dv ACL_NEXT_ENTRY
89and the last ACL entry in the ACL has already been returned by a
90previous call to
91.Fn acl_get_entry ,
92a value of 0 will be returned until a successful call with
93.Fa entry_id
94of
95.Dv ACL_FIRST_ENTRY
96is made.  Otherwise, a value of -1 will be returned and
97the global variable
98.Va errno
99will be set to indicate the error.
100.Sh ERRORS
101The
102.Fn acl_get_entry
103fails if:
104.Bl -tag -width Er
105.It Bq Er EINVAL
106Argument
107.Fa acl
108does not point to a valid ACL.  Argument
