acl_set_permset(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_permset_t permset_d);

The acl_set_permset() function is a POSIX.1e call that sets the permissions of ACL entry entry_d with the permissions contained in permset_d.

The acl_set_permset function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.

The acl_set_permset() function fails if:

[EINVAL]
	Argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry.

POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.

POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0 . The acl_set_permset() function was added in FreeBSD 5.0 .

The acl_set_permset() function was written by Chris D. Faulhaber <Mt jedgar@fxp.org>.
