For example, +under Linux, the acl library defines: + int acl_get_perm(acl_permset_t permset_d, acl_perm_t perm); +under FreeBSD, the acl_permset_t is actually a mode_t and you can test +with |. So just see how this is implemented in your platform and +define a function: + static int get_perm(acl_permset_t permset_d, acl_perm_t perm); +which return 1 if the permset contains perm and 0 otherwise. Put that +function in a separate file, os_.c and modify the top of +acl.c to include that file (see there for example). -- 2.39.2
