Description:
The acl_get_entry() function gets an entry from an access control list.
Each ACL remembers which entry is the current one.
  
  The ACL entry's pointer returned by acl_get_entry() becomes invalid after calling these functions:
  
  - acl_valid()
 
  - acl_create_entry()
 
  - acl_calc_mask()
 
  - acl_delete_entry()
 
  - acl_set_file()
 
  - acl_set_fd()
 
 
Returns:
- 1
 
- An entry was found.
 
- 0
 
- The ACL has no entries, or the last entry was returned by a previous call to
  acl_get_entry().
 
- -1
 
- An error occurred
  (errno
  is set).
 
 
Errors:
- EINVAL
 
- The value of entry_id isn't ACL_FIRST_ENTRY or ACL_NEXT_ENTRY.
