int
acl_get_tag_type(acl_entry_t entry_d, acl_tag_t *tag_type_p);

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.

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.

The acl_get_tag_type() function fails if:
[]
Argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an ACL entry;

POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.

POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0. The acl_get_tag_type() function was added in FreeBSD 5.0.

The acl_get_tag_type() function was written by Chris D. Faulhaber <jedgar@fxp.org>.
