GETCIFSACL(1) General Commands Manual GETCIFSACL(1)
NAME
getcifsacl - Userspace helper to display an ACL in a security descrip-
tor for Common Internet File System (CIFS)
SYNOPSIS
getcifsacl [-v|-r] {file system object}
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite.
getcifsacl is a userspace helper program for the Linux CIFS client file
system. It is intended to display a security descriptor, including DACL
and SACL for a file system object.
This program uses a plugin to handle the mapping of SIDs to user and
group names. /etc/cifs-utils/idmap-plugin should be a symlink that
points to the correct plugin to use.
Fields of an ACE such as SID, type, flags, and mask are displayed sepa-
rated by /. Numeric values of type, flags, and mask are displayed in
hexadecimal format.
OPTIONS
-v Print version number and exit.
-r Display a security descriptor in raw mode. Values such as type
and flags are displayed in hexadecimal format, a SID is not
mapped to a name.
-R List the ACLs of all files and directories recursively.
NOTES
Kernel support for getcifsacl/setcifsacl utilities was initially intro-
duced in the 2.6.37 kernel.
