# NAME

`acl_free` — free ACL working state

# LIBRARY

Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

# SYNOPSIS

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

int
`acl_free`(void *obj_p);

# DESCRIPTION

The `acl_free`() call allows the freeing of ACL working space, such as is allocated by acl_dup(3), or acl_from_text(3).

# IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under development at this time.

# RETURN VALUES

The `acl_free`() 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

If any of the following conditions occur, the `acl_free`() function shall return -1 and set errno to the corresponding value:

[`EINVAL`]
  The value of the obj_p argument is invalid.

# STANDARDS

POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17. Discussion of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation mailing list. To join this list, see the FreeBSD POSIX.1e implementation page for more information.

# HISTORY

POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0, and development continues.
