   1 1. What is it?
   2
   3 A utility to reapply default POSIX ACLs to files and directories.

   6 info, see [1].

   9 2. Requirements
  10
  11 Right now, this will probably only work on Linux because I'm
  12 lazy. You'll need the sys/acl.h and acl/libacl.h headers from [2], at
  13 least until I decide to replace acl_get_perm with something portable
  14 (or just steal it).
