 NAME
   sec_acl_get_access - Lists the access (permission set) that the caller
                        has for an object

 SYNOPSIS

 #include <dce/daclif.h>

 void sec_acl_get_access(
         sec_acl_handle_t h,
         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.
        Use sec_acl_bind() to create this handle.

 manager_type
        A pointer to the UUID identifying the manager type of the ACL 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 sec_acl_get_access() routine determines the complete extent of
 access to the specified object by the calling process.  Although the
 sec_acl_test_access() and sec_acl_test_access_on_behalf() routines are
 the preferred method of testing access, this routine is useful for
 implementing operations like the conventional UNIX access function.

 Permissions Required

 The sec_acl_get_access() routine requires at least one permission of any
 kind on the object for which the access is to be returned.

 FILES
   SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]DACLIF.IDL
             The idl file from which dce/daclif.h was derived.

 ERRORS

 error_status_ok
             The call was successful.
