NAME
fs_getcalleraccess - Show the current user's access to a file or directory SYNOPSIS
fs getcalleraccess [-path <path>+] [-help] fs gca [-p <path>] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The fs getcalleraccess command displays the access that the current user has to the specified path using the same representation as fs listacl. OPTIONS
-help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. -path <path>+ The -path option specifies the path on which to operate. -path may be omitted. If this option isn't given, the default is to act on the current directory. OUTPUT
For each path, fs getcalleraccess outputs a line like: Callers access to <directory> is <rights> where <directory> is the path on which it is operating and <rights> is an ACL string in the same format as is returned by fs listacl. See fs_listacl(1) for more information about AFS ACL strings. EXAMPLES
The following command shows the current user's access to the path /afs/openafs.org, which is read and lookup access. % fs getcalleraccess /afs/openafs.org Callers access to /afs/openafs.org is rl % PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
No special privileges are required for this command. SEE ALSO
