65 .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
67 support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
68 development at this time.
72 If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return
75 to the corresponding value:
78 Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
79 object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
83 argument is not a valid file descriptor.
87 does not point to a valid ACL for this object, or the ACL type
90 is invalid for this object, or both.
91 .It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
92 A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
93 entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
95 The named object does not exist, or the
97 argument points to an empty string.
99 Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
101 The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be
102 extended, or the file system is out of file allocation resources.
104 The file system does not support ACL retrieval.
106 This function requires modification of a file system which is currently
116 POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion
117 of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
118 mailing list. To join this list, see the
120 POSIX.1e implementation
121 page for more information.
123 POSIX.1e support was introduced in
125 and development continues.
