getcifsacl - Userspace helper to display an ACL in a security descriptor for Common Internet File System
Contents
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 DACL and SACL 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.
