DESCRIPTION

13       This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite.
14
15       getcifsacl is a userspace helper program for the Linux CIFS client file
16       system. It is intended to display a security descriptor including ACL
17       for a file system object.
18
19       This program uses a plugin to handle the mapping of SIDs to user and
20       group names. /etc/cifs-utils/idmap-plugin should be a symlink that
21       points to the correct plugin to use.
22
23       Fields of an ACE such as SID, type, flags, and mask are displayed
24       separated by /.  Numeric values of type, flags, and mask are displayed
25       in hexadecimal format.
