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.
