DESCRIPTION

NOTE:  This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard. 

Given a pointer to an ACL entry, the acl_set_permset() function sets the permissions. Any permissions in the ACL entry before the call to acl_set_permset() are replaced with the new set of permissions. 

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the acl_set_permset() function returns a value of 0 (zero).  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error. 

ERRORS

If the following conditions occur, the acl_set_permset() function sets errno to the corresponding value:

[[EINVAL]]
The entry_d parameter does not refer to a valid ACL entry. 

The permset_d parameter does not contain valid file permission bits.
