ACL_GET_QUALIFIER(3)	 BSD Library Functions Manual	  ACL_GET_QUALIFIER(3)

NAME
     acl_get_qualifier — retrieve the qualifier from an ACL entry

LIBRARY
     Linux Access Control Lists library (libacl, -lacl).

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     void *
     acl_get_qualifier(acl_entry_t entry_d);

DESCRIPTION
     The acl_get_qualifier() function retrieves the qualifier from the ACL
     entry indicated by the argument entry_d into working storage and returns
     a pointer to that storage.

     If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by entry_d is
     ACL_USER, then the value returned by acl_get_qualifier() is a pointer to
     type uid_t.  If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by
     entry_d is ACL_GROUP, then the value returned by acl_get_qualifier() is a
     pointer to type gid_t.  If the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by
     entry_d is a tag type for which a qualifier is not supported,
     acl_get_qualifier() returns a value of (void *)NULL and the function
     fails. Subsequent operations using the returned pointer operate on an
     independent copy of the qualifier in working storage, and will not change
     the qualifier of the ACL entry.

     This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free
     any releasable memory, when the new qualifier is no longer required, by
     calling acl_free() with the void * value returned by acl_get_qualifier()
     as an argument.

     The argument entry_d and any other ACL entry descriptors that refer to
     entries within the ACL containing the entry referred to by entry_d con‐
     tinue to refer to those entries. The order of all existing entries in the
     ACL containing the entry referred to by entry_d remains unchanged.

RETURN VALUE
     On success, the function returns a pointer to the tag qualifier that was
     retrieved into ACL working storage. On error, a value of (void *)NULL is
     returned and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS
     If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_qualifier() func‐
     tion returns (void *)NULL and sets errno to the corresponding value:

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

			The value of the tag type in the ACL entry referenced
			by the argument entry_d is neither ACL_USER nor
			ACL_GROUP.

     [ENOMEM]		The value to be returned requires more memory than is
			allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory man‐
			agement constraints.

STANDARDS
     IEEE Std 1003.1e draft 17 (“POSIX.1e”, abandoned)
