Remarks
An ACL
contains a list of ACEs. An ACE defines access to an object for a specific user
or group or defines the types of access that generate system-administration
messages or alarms for a specific user or group. The user or group is
identified by a security identifier (SID).
Each ACE
starts with an ACE_HEADER
structure. The format of the data following the header varies according to the
ACE type specified in the header.
