.Sh NAME
.Nm getfacl
.Nd get ACL Information
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl d
.Op Ar
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility writes discretionary access control information associated with
the specified file(s) to standard output.
If the
.Xr getconf 1
utility indicates that
.Eq { } Va _POSIX_ACL_EXTENDED
is not in effect for a
.Ar file
then the standard discretionary access permissions are interpreted as
an ACL containing only the required ACL entries.

p
The following option is available:
l -tag -width indent t Fl d The operation applies to the default ACL of a directory instead of the
access ACL.
An error is generated if a default ACL cannot be associated with
.Ar file .
.El

p
The following operand is available:
l -tag -width indent t Ar file A pathname of a file whose ACL shall be retrieved.
If
.Ar file
is not specified, or a
.Ar file
is specified as
.Fl ,
then
.Nm
reads a list of pathnames, each terminated by one newline character,
from the standard input.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Dl getfacl /

p
Retrieve ACL for the directory

a / .

p
.Dl getfacl -d /

p
Retrieve the default ACL for the directory

a / ,
if any.
