DESCRIPTION
For each file specified,
setacl will either replace its entire ACL, including the default ACL on a directory,
or it will add, modify, or delete one or more ACL entries, including default entries on directories.
The
-s option will set the ACL to the entries specified on the command line. The
-f option will set the
ACL to the entries contained within the file acl_file. The
-d option will delete one or more specified entries
from the file’s ACL. The
-m option will add or modify one or more specified ACL entries.
One of the options
-s, -m
, -d,or-f must be specified. If -s or -f are specified, other options are
invalid. The
-m and -d options may be combined, and multiple
-m and -d options may be specified.
For the
-m and -s options, acl_entries are one or more comma separated ACL entries selected from the fol-
lowing list. For the -f option, acl_file must contain ACL entries, one to a line, selected from the same list.
Default entries may only be specified for directories. Bold face indicates that characters must be
typed as specified, brackets denote optional characters, and italicized characters are to be specified by the
user. Choices, of which exactly one must be selected, are separated by vertical bars.
