Any existing ACL pointers that refer to the ACL referred to by acl continue to refer to the ACL. The order of ACL entries within acl remains unchanged.

On success, the Fn acl_size function returns the size in bytes of the contiguous, persistent form of the ACL. On error, a value of (ssize_t)-1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.ERRORS
