NAME

   getcifsacl - Userspace helper to display an ACL in a security
   descriptor 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 ACL
   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
   separated 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.

NOTES

   Kernel support for getcifsacl/setcifsacl utilities was initially
   introduced in the 2.6.37 kernel.
