ACL_ADD_PERM

NAME
     acl_add_perm -- add permissions to a permission set

LIBRARY
     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

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

     int
     acl_add_perm(acl_permset_t permset_d, acl_perm_t perm);

DESCRIPTION
     The acl_add_perm() function is a POSIX.1e call that adds the permission
     contained in perm to the permission set permset_d.

     Note: it is not considered an error to attempt to add permissions that
     already exist in the permission set.

RETURN VALUES
     The acl_add_perm() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise
     the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate
     the error.

ERRORS
     The acl_add_perm() function fails if:

     [EINVAL]           Argument permset_d is not a valid descriptor for a
                        permission set within an ACL entry.  Argument perm
                        does not contain a valid acl_perm_t value.
