SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/acl.h>

     int
     acl_get_flagset_np(void *obj, acl_flagset_t *flagset_p);

DESCRIPTION

     The acl_get_flagset_np() function is a nonstandard extension that returns
     via flagset_p a descriptor to the flag set in the ACL or ACL entry obj.
     Subsequent operations using the returned flag set operate on the permis-
     sion set within the ACL or ACL entry.

RETURN VALUES

     The acl_get_flagset() function returns the value 0 if successful; other-
     wise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to
     indicate the error.

ERRORS

     The acl_get_flagset() function fails if:

     [EINVAL]           Argument obj is not a valid descriptor for an ACL or
                        ACL entry.
