NAME
       acl_to_text - Converts an ACL to an ASCII string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/acl.h>

       char * acl_to_text(
	       acl_t acl_d,
	       ssize_t *len_p );

LIBRARY
       Security Library (libpacl.a)

PARAMETERS
       Designates  the	working	 storage  internal representation of an ACL to
       convert to text external representation.	 Pointer to location  to  hold
       the length of the returned string or NULL.

DESCRIPTION
       NOTE:   This  function  is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 stan‐
       dard.

       Given an ACL the acl_to_text() function converts it into a NULL	termi‐
       nated  ASCII character string. The acl_to_text() function allocates any
       memory necessary and places the length of the string returned at len_p.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful	completion,  the  acl_to_text()	 function  returns  an
       address	pointing to the text external representation of the ACL.  Oth‐
       erwise, a value of NULL is returned and errno is set  to	 indicate  the
       error.

ERRORS
       If  any	of  the following conditions occur, the acl_to_text() function
       sets errno to the corresponding value:

       The argument acl_d is not in a recognized format.

	      The argument acl_d contains one or more improperly formatted ACL
	      entries.	There is not enough memory available to the process to
	      allocate the character string.
