NAME
   rdacl_get_access - Reads a privilege attribute certificate

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/rdaclif.h>

 void rdacl_get_access(
         handle_t h,
         sec_acl_component_name_t component_name,
         uuid_t *manager_type,
         sec_acl_permset_t *net_rights,
         error_status_t *status);

 PARAMETERS

 Input

 h         A handle referring to the object whose ACL is to be accessed.

 component_name
           A character string containing the name of the target object.

 manager_type
           A pointer to the UUID identifying the type of the ACL manager
           in question. There may be more than one type of ACL manager
           protecting the object whose ACL is bound to the input handle.
           Use this parameter to distinguish them. Use
           sec_acl_get_manager_types() to acquire a list of the manager
           types protecting a given object.

 Output

 net_rights
           The output list of access rights, in sec_acl_permset_t form.
           This is a 32-bit set of permission flags supported by the
           manager type.

 status    A pointer to the completion status.  On successful completion,
           the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an
           error.

 DESCRIPTION

 The rdacl_get_access() routine determines the complete extent of access
 to the specified object by the calling process.  Although the
 rdacl_test_access() routines are the preferred method of testing access,
 this routine is useful for implementing operations like the conventional
 UNIX access function.

 NOTES

 This call is not intended to be used by application programs. The
 sec_acl Application Programming Interface (API) provides all the
 functionality necessary to use the ACL facility. This reference page
 is provided for programmers who wish to write an ACL manager. In order
 to write an ACL manager, a programmer must implement the entire rdacl
 interface.

 This network interface is called on the client side via the sec_acl
 local interface. Developers are responsible for implementing the server
 side of this interface. Test server code is included as a sample
 implementation.
