NAME
lsacl - list access control lists (ACLs) of files
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/lsacl
[-l] file...
DESCRIPTION
lsacl lists access control lists (ACL
s) of one or more files in symbolic, ‘‘short’’ form, one file’s ACL
per line
of output, followed by the file name; see acl (5) for
ACL syntax.
Options
lsacl recognizes the following option:
-l Print ACLs in long form. Each file’s
ACL can be more than one line long, and is always pre-
ceded by file name, colon, and newline. Consecutive file names are separated by blank lines.
If a hyphen (
-) is given as a file name argument,
lsacl prints the ACL for the standard input. By
default, it prints the file name as
-. For the -l option it prints a file name of <stdin>.
Unlike
ls, lsacl cannot list ACLs of files in subdirectories automatically or list the
ACL entries of the
files in the current directory by default. A good way to do the latter is:
lsacl *
or
lsacl .* *
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If
LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang (5)) is used instead of
LANG. If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,
lsacl behaves as if all interna-
tionalization variables are set to "C". See environ (5).
RETURN VALUE
If
lsacl succeeds, it returns zero. If invoked incorrectly, it returns a value of 1.If
lsacl is unable to
read the
ACL for a specified file, it prints an error message to standard error, continues, and later returns
a value of 2.
EXAMPLES
List the
ACL for the file dir/file1:
lsacl dir/file1
List ACLs for all files in the current directory, in long form.
lsacl -l .* *
List ACLs for all files under mydir:
find mydir -print | sort | xargs lsacl
DEPENDENCIES
lsacl will fail when the target file resides on a file system which does not support ACLs.
NFS:
lsacl is not supported on remote files.
