acl_getparam_library - get current ACL configuration parameter settings.
SYNOPSIS
acl_getparam_library -stdout <output_spec> [ -f <device_special_file> ] [ -n ]
acl_getparam_library -help [ help_type ]
DESCRIPTION
acl_getparam_library returns information about the current ACL configuration parameter
settings. The -stdout <output_spec> argument specifies the output fields written to stdout. To
change a configuration parameter setting, use the acl_setparam_library utility.
acl_getparam_library is available to all users. See “ACL Utilities Overview” on page 5-1
for ACL naming conventions and general information on command-line options and
arguments.
OPTIONS
-f < device_special_file>
Specifies the device special file to use for the operation.
-n
Prevents the utility from appending a trailing newline to the output stream written to stdout,
but does not affect newlines embedded in the output stream.
ARGUMENTS
-help [ help_type ]
Displays help on stderr and invalidates all other options, cancelling any other actions. Valid
keywords for the optional help_type specification are:
stdout, revision, and v_revision.
-stdout <
output_spec>
Specifies the output fields written to stdout. You must provide a -stdout <output_spec>
argument for this utility (except when using the -help argument).
