ENVIRONMENT
The ACL management utilities use the following environment variables. Command-line
options always override any environment variables.
$ACL_DEV
Specifies the device special file to use when you omit the -device option.
$RETRY_ON_RESET
Specifies that the ACL management utilities perform one retry automatically when a failure is
caused by a SCSI Bus Device Reset of the ACL. When $RETRY_ON_RESET is not set, an
ACL management utility will perform a retry automatically only if the -retry_on_reset option
is specified on the command line.
EXIT STATUS
The ACL management utilities use the following exit status codes:
0 Operation successful.
nonzero Operation failed.
Writer_Note: Our examples should show what’s returned. For example, what does a “numerical value
representing the current condition of the ACL” look like, and how do you interpret it?
EXAMPLES
Print the current status of the ACL.
acl_status_library -stdout "%v_condition\n%v_skey\n%v_scode\n"
