42.Op Ar
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46utility writes discretionary access control information associated with
47the specified file(s) to standard output.
48If the
49.Xr getconf 1
50utility indicates that
51.Eq { } Va _POSIX_ACL_EXTENDED
52is not in effect for a
53.Ar file
54then the standard discretionary access permissions are interpreted as
55an ACL containing only the required ACL entries.
56.Pp
57The following option is available:
58.Bl -tag -width indent
59.It Fl d
60The operation applies to the default ACL of a directory instead of the
61access ACL.
62An error is generated if a default ACL cannot be associated with
63.Ar file .
64.El

67.Bl -tag -width indent
68.It Ar file
69A pathname of a file whose ACL shall be retrieved.
70If
71.Ar file
72is not specified, or a
73.Ar file
74is specified as
75.Fl ,
76then
77.Nm
78reads a list of pathnames, each terminated by one newline character,
79from the standard input.
