Examples--Displaying ACL Entries for a File

The following example shows all the ACL entries for the ch1.doc file. The #effective: note beside the user and group entries indicates what the permissions are after being modified by the ACL mask.


$ getfacl ch1.doc
 
# file: ch1.doc
# owner: nathan
# group: sysadmin
user::rw-
user:george:rw-         #effective:rw-
group::r--              #effective:r--
mask:rw-
other:---
