setacl(1) setacl(1)
EXAMPLES
To add one ACL entry to file
filea, giving user archer read permission only, type:
setacl -m user:archer:r-- filea
If an entry for user archer already exists, this command will set the permissions in that entry to
r--.
To replace the entire ACL for file
filea, adding entries for users archer and fletcher, allowing
read/write access, an entry for the file owner allowing all access, an entry for the file group allowing read
access only, and an entry for others disallowing all access, type:
setacl -s user::rwx,user:archer:rw-,user:fletcher:rw-,\
group::r--,other:--- filea
Note that following this command, the file permission bits would be set to
-rwxrw----. Even though
the file owning group has only read permission, the maximum permissions available to all additional
user ACL entries, and all group ACL entries, are read and write, since the two additional
user entries
both specify these permissions.
To set the same ACL on file
filea as in the above example, using the -f option, type:
setacl -f filea.acl filea
with file filea.acl edited to contain:
user::rwx
user:archer:rw-
user:fletcher:rw-
group::r--
other:---
Because the -n option was not specified, no class entry was needed. If a class
entry had been
present it would have been ignored.
