# parrot\_setacl(1)

set ACL information for Parrot filesystem

## NAME

**parrot\_setacl** - set ACL information for Parrot filesystem

## SYNOPSIS

FCparrot\_setacl *\<path\>* *\<subject\>* *\<rights\>*FT

## DESCRIPTION

FCparrot\_setaclFT utilizes **Parrot** system calls to set the access control list (ACL) information for the directory specified by *\<path\>*.  The *\<subject\>* argument refers to the entity to authorize, while the *\<rights\>* argument is one of the following: read, write, admin, none.

Note, this program only works if it is executed under **[parrot\_run(1)](/parrot_run/1.md)** and if the underlying filesystem supports ACLs.

## EXIT STATUS

On success, returns zero.  On failure, returns non-zero.

## EXAMPLES

Set read and list permissions for subject "unix:user" on a **Chirp** directory:

```

```

-

  % parrot\_run parrot\_setacl /chirp/student00.cse.nd.edu/user unix:user rl
