45 function allocates and initializes the working storage for an ACL of at
48 ACL entries. A pointer to the working storage is returned. The working

62 support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
63 development at this time.
65 Upon successful completion, this function shall return a pointer to the
66 working storage. Otherwise, a value of
68 shall be returned, and
70 shall be set to indicate the error.
72 If any of the following conditions occur, the
74 function shall return a value of
78 to the corresponding value:
81 The value of count is less than zero.
85 to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or
86 system-imposed memory management constraints.
93 POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion
94 of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
95 mailing list. To join this list, see the
97 POSIX.1e implementation
98 page for more information.
100 POSIX.1e support was introduced in
102 and development continues.

106 These features are not yet fully implemented. In particular, the shipped
107 version of UFS/FFS does not support storage of additional security labels,
108 and so is unable to (easily) provide support for most of these features.
