30.Dt ACL_DUP 3
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm acl_dup
34.Nd duplicate an ACL
35.Sh LIBRARY
36.Lb libposix1e
37.Sh SYNOPSIS
38.In sys/types.h
39.In sys/acl.h
40.Ft acl_t
41.Fn acl_dup "acl_t acl"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Fn acl_dup
45function returns a pointer to a copy of the ACL pointed to by the argument
46.Va acl .
47.Pp
48This function may cause memory to be allocated.  The caller should free any
49releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling
50.Xr acl_free 3
51with the
52.Va (void*)acl_t
53as an argument.
54.Pp
55Any existing ACL pointers that refer to the ACL referred to by
56.Va acl
57shall continue to refer to the ACL.
58.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
59.Dx Ns 's
60support 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
64duplicate ACL.  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
79Argument
80.Va acl
81does not point to a valid ACL.
82.It Bq Er ENOMEM
83The
84.Va acl_t
85to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or
86system-imposed memory management constraints.

93.Sh STANDARDS
94POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.  Discussion
95of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
96mailing list.  To join this list, see the
97.Fx
98POSIX.1e implementation
99page for more information.
100.Sh HISTORY
101POSIX.1e support was introduced in
102.Fx 4.0 ,
103and development continues.

105.An Robert N M Watson
106.Sh BUGS
107These features are not yet fully implemented.  In particular, the shipped
108version of UFS/FFS does not support storage of additional security labels,
109and so is unable to (easily) provide support for most of these features.
