DESCRIPTION

The sec_acl_calc_mask() routine sets the permission bits of the (sec_acl_e_type_mask_obj) entry (creating it first, if necessary) of each of the ACLs in the specified ACL list (acl_list), to the "union" (bitwise OR) of the permissions of all the ACL entries in the ACL of types USER, FOREIGN_USER, GROUP_OBJ, GROUP, FOREIGN_GROUP, FOREIGN_OTHER and ANY_OTHER (but not USER_OBJ, OTHER_OBJ, UNAUTHENTICATED, EXTENDED or MASK_OBJ, if these exist).

ERRORS

error_status_ok, sec_acl_cant_allocate_memory.
