SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The acl_get_tag_type() function is a POSIX.1e call that returns the tag
     type for the ACL entry entry_d.  Upon successful completion, the location
     referred to by the argument tag_type_p will be set to the tag type of the
     ACL entry entry_d.

RETURN VALUES
     The acl_get_tag_type() 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_get_tag_type() function fails if:

     [EINVAL]           Argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL
                        entry;
