UTILITIES SUMMARY

Writer_Note: Need input for items ﬂagged (TBS).

database.

database.

release information.

acl_setparam_library Change ACL conﬁguration parameter settings.

acl_statlog_library Retrieve the ACL static log.

INPUT CONVENTIONS

The ACL Management Utilities use the following input conventions:

• All arguments or options are speciﬁed using explicit, descriptive command-line ﬂags or

environment variables. Where applicable, the utilities use the same command-line ﬂag

names and content.

Writer_Note: Please verify that separator characters are optional for single-element input

speciﬁcations.

• Some arguments consist of multiple-element input speciﬁcations. Every element in this

type of speciﬁcation must be enclosed by colons or by the separator character you specify

using the -t option. (Separator characters are optional for a single-element input

speciﬁcation.)
