FS_GETCALLERACCESS(1)

💖 FS_GETCALLERACCESS(1) — fs_getcalleraccess 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the AFS Command Reference ✨ this is a page from the AFS Command Reference manual, section 1, and it's literally about finding out what you are allowed to do somewhere. no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fs_getcalleraccess — show the current user's access to a file or directory

like, it tells you your own perms. main character energy, honestly. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fs getcalleraccess [-path <path>+] [-help]

fs gca [-p <path>] [-h]

see how fs gca is the lil nickname? bestie behavior. -p and -h are the short forms, iykyk. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe: the fs getcalleraccess command shows the access that the current user has to the path you specified. and it uses the exact same representation as fs listacl does. same format, same energy, no surprises. 🎀

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -help — prints the online help for this command. and the way that it does this… it ignores all your other valid options. so don't bother stacking them, she said what she said. 🙈
• -path <path>+ — the -path option specifies the path on which to operate. fun fact: -path may be omitted entirely. if you don't give it, the default is to act on the current directory. periodt. ✨

---

🫶 OUTPUT 🫶

for each path, fs getcalleraccess outputs a line like this:

Callers access to <directory> is <rights>

where <directory> is the path on which it is operating, and <rights> is an ACL string in the same format as is returned by fs listacl. if you wanna know more about AFS ACL strings, go read fs_listacl(1) — she explains it all. 💖

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

the following command shows the current user's access to the path /afs/openafs.org, which is read and lookup access:

% fs getcalleraccess /afs/openafs.org
Callers access to /afs/openafs.org is rl
%

look at that rl — read and lookup, slayed. 🔥

---

👑 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 👑

no special privileges are required for this command. none. zero. you can just ✨ run it ✨. we love an accessible queen. 🎀
