p This function allocates any memory necessary to contain the string and returns a pointer to the string. The caller should free any releasable memory, when the new string is no longer required, by calling .Xr acl_free 3 with the .Va (void*)char as an argument. .Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES .Fx Ns 's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under development at this time. .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the function shall return a pointer to the long text form of an ACL. Otherwise, a value of .Va (char*)NULL shall be returned and .Va errno shall be set to indicate the error. .Sh ERRORS If any of the following conditions occur, the .Fn acl_to_text function shall return a value of .Va (acl_t)NULL and set .Va errno to the corresponding value: l -tag -width Er t Bq Er EINVAL Argument .Va acl does not point to a valid ACL.
p The ACL denoted by .Va acl contains one or more improperly formed ACL entries, or for some other reason cannot be translated into a text form of an ACL. t Bq Er ENOMEM The character string to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or software-imposed memory management constraints. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr acl 3 , .Xr acl_free 3 , .Xr acl_from_text 3 , .Xr posix1e 3 .Sh 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 .Fx POSIX.1e implementation page for more information. .Sh HISTORY POSIX.1e support was introduced in .Fx 4.0 , and development continues. .Sh AUTHORS .An Robert N M Watson .Sh BUGS The .Fn acl_from_text and .Fn acl_to_text functions rely on the .Xr getpwent 3 library calls to manage username and uid mapping, as well as the .Xr getgrent 3 library calls to manage groupname and gid mapping. These calls are not thread safe, and so transitively, neither are .Fn acl_from_text and .Fn acl_to_text . These functions may also interfere with stateful calls associated with the .Fn getpwent and .Fn getgrent calls.
