NAME
dxsetacl - Graphical interface for setting the ACL on a file or directory SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dxsetacl [arguments...] OPTIONS
The name of the file or directory to operate on. The regular X resources can be supplied to dxsetacl on the command line. DESCRIPTION
The dxsetacl command provides a graphical interface for examining and setting file access control lists (ACLs). If a path is specified on the command line, the file system object represented by path is used as the target of the command. In addition, there is a Find Object area on the main dialog box. A path may be typed in, or located by browsing the file system. A file reference may be dragged from a CDE application, such as the File Manager, and dropped on the Find Object area. Once an object is selected, its full path name, object type, owner, and group are displayed along with the ACL. The ACL is displayed, one entry per line, in a list widget. Clicking on an entry selects it. Double clicking on an entry or selecting the Change Entry button brings up a dialog that allows the fields of the entry to be modified. Clicking on the Delete Entry button removes the entry. The owning user, owning group, and other user entries may be modified but not deleted. (See acl(4) for more information.) The New Entry button may be used to create a new group or user entry. If the object is a regular file, device special file, or UNIX domain socket, it only has an access ACL. If the object is a directory, it has an access ACL, a default access ACL, and a default directory ACL. Which ACL of a directory is being edited may be selected with a radio button. Note The dxsetacl command will show and set ACLs on file system objects, regardless of whether ACLs are used by the system for access decisions. The sysman secconfig utility is used to enable ACL checking. SEE ALSO

NAME
getfacl -- get ACL information SYNOPSIS
getfacl [-dhinqv] [file ...] DESCRIPTION
The getfacl utility writes discretionary access control information associated with the specified file(s) to standard output. If the getconf(1) utility indicates that {_POSIX_ACL_EXTENDED} is not in effect for a file then the standard discretionary access permissions are interpreted as an ACL containing only the required ACL entries. The following option is available: -d The operation applies to the default ACL of a directory instead of the access ACL. An error is generated if a default ACL cannot be associated with file. This option is not valid for NFSv4 ACLs. -h If the target of the operation is a symbolic link, return the ACL from the symbolic link itself rather than following the link. -i For NFSv4 ACLs, append numerical ID at the end of each entry containing user or group name. Ignored for POSIX.1e ACLs. -n Display user and group IDs numerically rather than converting to a user or group name. Ignored for POSIX.1e ACLs. -q Do not write commented information about file name and ownership. This is useful when dealing with filenames with unprintable char- acters. -v For NFSv4 ACLs, display access mask and flags in a verbose form. Ignored for POSIX.1e ACLs. The following operand is available: file A pathname of a file whose ACL shall be retrieved. If file is not specified, or a file is specified as -, then getfacl reads a list of pathnames, each terminated by one newline character, from the standard input. For an explanation of the ACL syntax, see the setfacl(1) manual page. EXIT STATUS
The getfacl utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. EXAMPLES
getfacl / Retrieve ACL for the directory /. getfacl -d / Retrieve the default ACL for the directory /, if any. SEE ALSO
setfacl(1), acl(3), getextattr(8), setextattr(8), acl(9), extattr(9) STANDARDS
The getfacl utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2c compliant. HISTORY
Extended Attribute and Access Control List support was developed as part of the TrustedBSD Project and introduced in FreeBSD 5.0. AUTHORS
