ACL_CMP(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ACL_CMP(3)
NAME
acl_cmp -- compare two ACLs
LIBRARY
Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <acl/libacl.h>
int
acl_cmp(acl_t acl1, acl_t acl2);
DESCRIPTION
The acl_cmp() function compares the ACLs pointed to by the arguments acl1
and acl2 for equality. The two ACLs are considered equal if for each
entry in acl1 there is an entry in acl2 with matching tag type, quali-
fier, and permissions, and vice versa.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, the acl_cmp() function returns 0 if the two ACLs acl1 and
acl2 are equal, and 1 if they differ. Otherwise, the value -1 is returned
and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_cmp() function returns
-1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EINVAL] The argument acl1 is not a valid pointer to an ACL.
The argument acl2 is not a valid pointer to an ACL.
STANDARDS
This is a non-portable, Linux specific extension to the ACL manipulation
functions defined in IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 ("POSIX.1e", abandoned).
