1. What is it?

A utility to reapply default POSIX ACLs to files and directories.

The way some common utilities handle POSIX ACLs is busted. For more
info, see [1].


2. Requirements

Right now, this will probably only work on Linux because I'm
lazy. You'll need the sys/acl.h and acl/libacl.h headers from [2], at
least until I decide to replace acl_get_perm with something portable
(or just steal it).


3. Installation

Run `make` and put the resulting binary somewhere in your $PATH.


4. Usage

reapply_default_acl /path/to/whatever


5. How to report bugs
