+.Dt ACL_FROM_TEXT 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm acl_from_text
+.Nd create an ACL from text
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In sys/acl.h
+.Ft acl_t
+.Fn acl_from_text "const char *buf_p"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn acl_from_text
+function converts the text form of an ACL referred to by
+.Va buf_p
+into the internal working structure for ACLs, appropriate for applying to
+files or manipulating.
+.Pp
+This function may cause memory to be allocated.
+The caller should free any
+releasable memory, when the new ACL is no longer required, by calling
+.Xr acl_free 3
+with the
+.Va (void *)acl_t
+as an argument.
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+.Fx Ns 's
+support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
+development at this time.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, the function shall return a pointer to the
+internal representation of the ACL in working storage.
+Otherwise, a value
+of
+.Va (acl_t)NULL
+shall be returned, and
+.Va errno
+shall be set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+If any of the following conditions occur, the
+.Fn acl_from_text
+function shall return a value of
+.Va (acl_t)NULL
+and set
+.Va errno
+to the corresponding value:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+Argument
+.Va buf_p
+cannot be translated into an ACL.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+The ACL working storage requires more memory than is allowed by the
+hardware or system-imposed memory management constraints.

+.Sh STANDARDS
+POSIX.1e is described in IEEE POSIX.1e draft 17.
+Discussion
+of the draft continues on the cross-platform POSIX.1e implementation
+mailing list.
+To join this list, see the
+.Fx
+POSIX.1e implementation
+page for more information.
+.Sh HISTORY
+POSIX.1e support was introduced in
+.Fx 4.0 ,
+and development continues.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An Robert N M Watson
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Fn acl_from_text
+and
+.Fn acl_to_text
+functions
+rely on the
+.Xr getpwent 3
+library calls to manage username and uid mapping, as well as the
+.Xr getgrent 3
+library calls to manage groupname and gid mapping.
+These calls are not
+thread safe, and so transitively, neither are
+.Fn acl_from_text
+and
+.Fn acl_to_text .
+These functions may also interfere with stateful
+calls associated with the
+.Fn getpwent
+and
+.Fn getgrent
+calls.
