facl - File Access Control List Management

The facl module simplifies the interaction with File Access Control Lists (ACL), providing an easier way to view and set complex file permissions beyond standard Unix rwx bits.

When to Activate

• When the user needs to audit fine-grained permissions on files or directories.
• When setting specific user or group permissions using ACLs.

Core Principles & Rules

• Intuitive Display: Designed to show ACL entries in a clear, readable format.
• Standard Operations: Supports both get (view) and set (modify) subcommands.
