getcifsacl - Userspace helper to display an ACL in a security descriptor for Common Internet File System (CIFS)
getcifsacl [-v|-r] {file system object}
This tool is part of the cifs-utils suite. getcifsacl is a userspace helper program for the Linux CIFS client file system. It is intended to display a security descriptor, including DACL and SACL for a file system object. This program uses a plugin to handle the mapping of SIDs to user and group names. /etc/cifs-utils/idmap-plugin should be a symlink that points to the correct plugin to use. Fields of an ACE such as SID, type, flags, and mask are displayed separated by /. Numeric values of type, flags, and mask are displayed in hexadecimal format.
-v Print version number and exit. -r Display a security descriptor in raw mode. Values such as type and flags are displayed in hexadecimal format, a SID is not mapped to a name. -R List the ACLs of all files and directories recursively.
Kernel support for getcifsacl/setcifsacl utilities was initially introduced in the 2.6.37 kernel.

Shirish Pargaonkar wrote the getcifsacl program. The Linux CIFS Mailing list is the preferred place to ask questions regarding these programs.
