DESCRIPTION

The function sets the qualifier of the ACL entry indicated by the argument to the value referred to by the argument If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by is ACL_USER, then the value referred to by shall be of type If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by is ACL_GROUP, then the value referred to by shall be of type If the value of the tag type in the ACL entry referred to by is a tag type for which a qualifier is not supported, returns an error.
Any ACL entry descriptors that refer to the entry referred to by continue to refer to that entry. This function may cause memory to be allocated. The caller should free any releasable memory, when the ACL is no longer required, by calling with a pointer to the ACL as argument.
