Displaying traditional GPFS access control lists

Use the mmgetacl command to display the access ACL of a file or subdirectory, or the default ACL of a directory. For example, to display the ACL for the file project2.history, enter:

mmgetacl project2.history

The information sent to standard output is similar to:

#owner:guest
#group:usr
user::rwxc
group::rwx- #effective:rw--
other::--x-
mask::rw-c
user:alpha:rwxc #effective:rw-c
group:audit:rwx- #effective:rw--
group:system:-w--

The first two lines are comments that are displayed by the mmgetacl command, showing the owner and owning group. All entries containing permissions that are not allowed (because they are not set in the mask entry) display a comment that shows their effective permissions.

For complete usage information, see the mmgetacl command.
