GETFACL(1)		    General Commands Manual		    GETFACL(1)

NAME
       getfacl -- get ACL information

SYNOPSIS
       getfacl [-dhinqv] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The getfacl utility writes discretionary	access control information as-
       sociated	 with  the  specified  file(s)	to  standard  output.	If the
       getconf(1) utility indicates that {_POSIX_ACL_EXTENDED} is not  in  ef-
       fect  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 can-
	       not 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	owner-
	       ship.  This is useful when dealing with filenames with unprint-
	       able characters.

       -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

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.
