NAME

       getcifsacl - Userspace helper to display an ACL in a security descriptor for Common
       Internet File System (CIFS)

SYNOPSIS

       getcifsacl [-v|-r] {file system object}

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite.

       getcifsacl is a userspace helper program for the Linux CIFS client file system. It is
       intended to display a security descriptor including ACL for a file system object.

       This program uses a plugin to handle the mapping of SIDs to user and group names.
       /etc/cifs-utils/idmap-plugin should be a symlink that points to the correct plugin to use.

       Fields of an ACE such as SID, type, flags, and mask are displayed separated by /.  Numeric
       values of type, flags, and mask are displayed in hexadecimal format.

OPTIONS

       -v
           Print version number and exit.
       -r
           Display a security descriptor in raw mode. Values such as type and flags are displayed
           in hexadecimal format, a SID is not mapped to a name.

NOTES

       Kernel support for getcifsacl/setcifsacl utilities was initially introduced in the 2.6.37
       kernel.
