.Sh NAME
.Nm acl_create_entry ,
.Nm acl_create_entry_np
.Nd create a new ACL entry
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/types.h
.In sys/acl.h
.Ft int
.Fn acl_create_entry "acl_t *acl_p" "acl_entry_t *entry_p"
.Ft int
.Fn acl_create_entry_np "acl_t *acl_p" "acl_entry_t *entry_p" "int entry_index"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn acl_create_entry
function
is a POSIX.1e call that creates a new ACL entry in the ACL
pointed to by
.Fa acl_p .
.Pp
The
.Fn acl_create_entry_np
function is a non-portable extension which allows the caller to specify the
position of the created entry within the ACL.  If
.Fa entry_index
is
.Dv ACL_FIRST_ENTRY
the entry will be created at the head of the ACL.  If
.Fa entry_index
is
.Dv ACL_LAST_ENTRY
the entry will be created at the end of the ACL.  After inserting an ACL entry with an
.Fa entry_index
other than
.Dv ACL_LAST_ENTRY
the behaviour of any acl_entry_t's previously obtained from the ACL
by
.Fn acl_create_entry
or
.Fn acl_get_entry
is undefined.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Rv -std acl_create_entry
.Sh ERRORS
The
.Fn acl_create_entry
and
.Fn acl_create_entry_np
functions fail if:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EINVAL
Argument
.Fa acl_p
does not point to a pointer to a valid ACL.
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
The ACL working storage requires more memory than is
allowed by the hardware or system-imposed memory
management constraints.
.It Bq Er ERANGE
The
.Fa entry_index
argument to
.Fn acl_create_entry_np
is greater than the number of entries in the ACL.
