A pointer to the working storage is returned. The working 48storage allocated to contain the ACL is freed by a call to 49.Xr acl_free 3 . 50When the area is first allocated, it shall contain an an ACL that contains 51no ACL entries. 52 53This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any 54releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling 55.Xr acl_free 3 56with the 57.Va (void*)acl_t 58as an argument. 59.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES 60FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under 61development at this time. 62.Sh RETURN VALUES 63Upon successful completion, this function shall return a pointer to the 64working storage. Otherwise, a value of 65.Va (acl_t)NULL 66shall be returned, and 67.Va errno 68shall be set to indicate the error. 69.Sh ERRORS 70If any of the following conditions occur, the 71.Fn acl_init 72function shall return a value of 73.Va (acl_t)NULL 74and set 75.Va errno 76to the corresponding value: 77.Bl -tag -width Er 78.It Bq Er EINVAL 79The value of count is less than zero. 80.It Bq Er ENOMEM 81The 82.Va acl_t 83to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or 84system-imposed memory management constraints. 85.El 86.Sh SEE ALSO 87.Xr acl 3 , 88.Xr acl_free 3 , 89.Xr posix1e 3 90.Sh STANDARDS 91POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion 92of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation 93mailing list.
