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

The first two lines are comments 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 with a comment showing their effective permissions.

See the mmgetacl Command for complete usage information.
