GETFACL(1)		FreeBSD	General	Commands Manual		    GETFACL(1)

NAME
     getfacl --	get ACL	information

SYNOPSIS
     getfacl [-d] [file	...]

DESCRIPTION
     The getfacl utility writes	discretionary access control information asso-
     ciated 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.

     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.

EXAMPLES
	   getfacl /

     Retrieve ACL for the directory /.

	   getfacl -d /

     Retrieve the default ACL for the directory	/, if any.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The getfacl utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error	occurs.

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.
