+.SH "ACL FORMAT"
+.PP
+The format of an ACL is one or more ACL entries separated by either spaces,
+commas or newlines\&. An ACL entry is one of the following:
+.PP
+
+.nf
+
+
+REVISION:<revision number>
+OWNER:<sid or name>
+GROUP:<sid or name>
+ACL:<sid or name>:<type>/<flags>/<mask>
+.fi
+
+
+.PP
+The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows NT ACL revision for
+the security descriptor\&. If not specified it defaults to 1\&.
+.PP
+The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the object\&. If a
+SID in the format \f(CWS-1-x-y-z\fP is specified this is used, otherwise
+the name specified is resolved using the server on which the file or
+directory resides\&.
+.PP
+ACLs specify permissions granted to the SID\&. This SID again can be
+specified in \f(CWS-1-x-y-z\fP format or as a name in which case it is resolved
+against the server on which the file or directory resides\&. The type, flags
+and mask values determine the type of access granted to the SID\&.
+.PP
+The type can be either 0 or 1 corresponding to ALLOWED or DENIED access to
+the SID\&. The flags values are generally zero for file ACLs and either 9 or
+2 for directory ACLs\&. Some common flags are:
+.PP
+
+.nf
+
+
+#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_OBJECT_INHERIT 0x1
+#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_CONTAINER_INHERIT 0x2
+#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT 0x4
+#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_INHERIT_ONLY 0x8
+.fi
+
+
+.PP
+The mask is a value which expresses the access right granted to
+the SID\&. It can be given as a hexadecimal value or by using one of the
+following text strings which map to the NT file permissions of the same
+name\&.
