91 branded as NFSv4, will result in error.
92 .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
94 support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
95 development at this time.
99 If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return
102 to the corresponding value:
105 Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
106 object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
110 argument is not a valid file descriptor.
114 does not point to a valid ACL for this object, or the ACL type
117 is invalid for this object, or there is branding mismatch.
118 .It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
119 A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
120 entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
122 The named object does not exist, or the
124 argument points to an empty string.
126 Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
128 The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be
129 extended, or the file system is out of file allocation resources.
131 The file system does not support ACL retrieval.
133 This function requires modification of a file system which is currently
140 .Xr acl_get_brand_np 3 ,
144 POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
146 of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
148 To join this list, see the
150 POSIX.1e implementation
151 page for more information.
153 POSIX.1e support was introduced in
155 and development continues.
