Introduce ACL man pages en masse for library calls, and general introduction.
Introduce ACL man pages en masse for library calls, and general introduction. Also, fix acl_valid.c non-portable calls to include _np in their names, making them standard-happy as well as consistent with acl.h

+.Dt ACL_INIT 3
+.Os FreeBSD 4.0
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm acl_init
+.Nd Initialize ACL working storage
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
+.Fd #include <sys/acl.h>
+.Ft acl_t
+.Fn acl_init "int count"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn acl_init
+function allocates and initializes the working storage for an ACL of at
+least
+.Va count
+ACL entries. A pointer to the working storage is returned. The working
+storage allocated to contain the ACL is freed by a call to
+.Xr acl_free 3 .
+When the area is first allocated, it shall contain an an ACL that contains
+no ACL entries.
+
+This function may cause memory to be allocated. Teh caller should free any
+releaseable 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
+FreeBSD's support for POSIX.1e interfaces and features is still under
+development at this time.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion, this function shall return a pointer to the
+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_init
+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
+The value of count is less than zero.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+The
+.Va acl_t
+to be returned requires more memory than is allowed by the hardware or
+system-imposed memory management constraints.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr acl 3 ,
+.Xr acl_free 3 ,
+.Xr posix1e 3
+.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 FreeBSD POSIX.1e implementation
+page for more information.
+.Sh HISTORY
+POSIX.1e support was introduced in FreeBSD 4.0, and development continues.
+.Sh AUTHORS
+Robert N M Watson
+.Sh BUGS
+These features are not yet fully implemented. In particular, the shipped
+version of UFS/FFS does not support storage of additional security labels,
+and so is unable to (easily) provide support for most of these features.
