80 support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
81 development at this time.
85 If any of the following conditions occur, these functions shall return
88 to the corresponding value:
91 Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix, or the
92 object exists and the process does not have appropriate access rights.
96 argument is not a valid file descriptor.
100 does not point to a valid ACL for this object, or the ACL type
103 is invalid for this object, or both.

105 A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an
106 entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
108 The named object does not exist, or the
110 argument points to an empty string.
112 Insufficient memory available to fulfill request.
114 The directory or file system that would contain the new ACL cannot be
115 extended, or the file system is out of file allocation resources.
117 The file system does not support ACL retrieval.
119 This function requires modification of a file system which is currently

138 POSIX.1e support was introduced in
