DESCRIPTION
The acl_set_permset() function sets the permission set of the ACL entry
indicated by the argument entry_d to the permissions contained in the
argument permset_d.
Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry containing the permis-

entries. Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by
entry_d shall continue to refer to that entry.
RETURN VALUE
The acl_set_permset() function returns the value 0 if successful; other-
wise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_set_permset() function
returns -1 and sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EINVAL] The argument entry_d is not a valid descriptor for an
ACL entry.
