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 sepa‐
24       rated  by  /.  Numeric values of type, flags, and mask are displayed in
25       hexadecimal format.
26

OPTIONS

28       -v     Print version number and exit.

30       -r     Display a security descriptor in raw mode. Values such  as  type
31              and  flags  are  displayed  in  hexadecimal format, a SID is not
32              mapped to a name.
33
34       -R     List the ACLs of all files and directories recursively.
