32.Dt ACL_DUP 3
33.Os
34.Sh NAME
35.Nm acl_dup
36.Nd duplicate an ACL
37.Sh LIBRARY
38.Lb libc
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.In sys/types.h
41.In sys/acl.h
42.Ft acl_t
43.Fn acl_dup "acl_t acl"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Fn acl_dup
47function returns a pointer to a copy of the ACL pointed to by the argument
48.Va acl .
49.Pp
50This function may cause memory to be allocated.
51The caller should free any
52releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling
53.Xr acl_free 3
54with the
55.Va (void*)acl_t
56as an argument.
57.Pp
58Any existing ACL pointers that refer to the ACL referred to by
59.Va acl
60shall continue to refer to the ACL.
61.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
62.Fx Ns 's
63support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
64development at this time.
65.Sh RETURN VALUES
66Upon successful completion, this function shall return a pointer to the
67duplicate ACL.
68Otherwise, a value of
69.Va (acl_t)NULL
70shall be returned, and
71.Va errno
72shall be set to indicate the error.
73.Sh ERRORS
74If any of the following conditions occur, the
75.Fn acl_init
76function shall return a value of
77.Va (acl_t)NULL
78and set
79.Va errno
80to the corresponding value:
81.Bl -tag -width Er
82.It Bq Er EINVAL
83Argument
84.Va acl
85does not point to a valid ACL.
86.It Bq Er ENOMEM
87The
88.Va acl_t
89to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or
90system-imposed memory management constraints.

97.Sh STANDARDS
98POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
99Discussion
100of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
101mailing list.
102To join this list, see the
103.Fx
104POSIX.1e implementation
105page for more information.
106.Sh HISTORY
107POSIX.1e support was introduced in
108.Fx 4.0 ,
109and development continues.
