GETFACL(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual GETFACL(1) NAME getfacl -- get ACL information SYNOPSIS getfacl [-dhq] [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. -h If the target of the operation is a symbolic link, return the ACL from the symbolic link itself rather than following the link. -q Don't write commented information about file name and ownership. This is useful when dealing with filenames with unprintable char- acters. 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. 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.
