29.Dt ACL_GET_QUALIFIER 3
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm acl_get_qualifier
33.Nd retrieve the qualifier from an ACL entry
34.Sh LIBRARY
35.Lb libc
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37.In sys/types.h
38.In sys/acl.h
39.Ft void *
40.Fn acl_get_qualifier "acl_entry_t entry_d"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn acl_get_qualifier
44function
45is a POSIX.1e call that retrieves the qualifier of the tag for
46the ACL entry indicated by the argument
47.Fa entry_d
48into working storage and returns a pointer to that storage.
49.Pp
50If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by
51.Fa entry_d
52is
53.Dv ACL_USER ,
54then the value returned by
55.Fn acl_get_qualifier
56will be a pointer to type
57.Vt uid_t .
58.Pp
59If the value of the tag type in
60the ACL entry referred to by
61.Fa entry_d
62is
63.Dv ACL_GROUP ,
64then the value returned by
65.Fn acl_get_qualifier
66will be a pointer to type
67.Vt gid_t .
68.Pp
69If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by
70.Fa entry_d
71is
72.Dv ACL_UNDEFINED_TAG , ACL_USER_OBJ , ACL_GROUP_OBJ ,
73.Dv ACL_OTHER , ACL_MASK ,
74or an implementation-defined value for which a qualifier
75is not supported, then
76.Fn acl_get_qualifier
77will return a value of
78.Vt ( void * ) Ns Dv NULL
79and the function will fail.
80.Pp
81This function may cause memory to be allocated.
82The caller should
83free any releasable memory, when the new qualifier is no longer
84required, by calling
85.Fn acl_free
86with
87.Vt void *
88as the argument.
89.Sh RETURN VALUES
90The
91.Fn acl_get_qualifier
92function returns a pointer to the allocated storage if successful;
93otherwise a
94.Dv NULL
95pointer is returned and the global variable
96.Va errno
97is set to indicate the error.
98.Sh ERRORS
99The
100.Fn acl_get_qualifier
101fails if:
102.Bl -tag -width Er
103.It Bq Er EINVAL
104Argument
105.Fa entry_d
106does not point to a valid descriptor for an ACL entry.
107The
108value of the tag type in the ACL entry referenced by argument
109.Fa entry_d
110is not
111.Dv ACL_USER
112or
113.Dv ACL_GROUP .
114.It Bq Er ENOMEM
115The value to be returned requires more memory than is allowed
116by the hardware or system-imposed memory management constraints.
