NAME

smc_gettacl - obtain access control list for titles on Sun MediaCenter server

SYNOPSIS

smc_gettacl [ server: ] <titlename>...

AVAILABILITY

Available with the Sun MediaCenter Server software. smc_gettacl is a companion command to smc_settacl (1M)

DESCRIPTION

smc_gettacl allows you to obtain the access control list (ACL) associated with a title on a Sun MediaCenter server. Output from smc_gettacl is suitable as input for the -f option of smc_settacl. It is useful to pipe output from smc_gettacl to smc_settacl to set the ACL for a title to be the same as another title's ACL.

OPTIONS

smc_gettacl has no options. It accepts as an argument:

[ server: ] <titlename>...

You can specify one or more titles, any of which can be local or remote. Specify multiple title names with a space between each pair. For a remote title, you prepend the name of the Sun MediaCenter server and a colon to the title name. You can use an asterisk in the <titlename> field, which means all titles on the server. You must use a backslash (\) to escape the asterisk.

EXAMPLES

The following command obtains the ACL for the local title "bambi" and the remote title "ben_hur", which is stored on the server "nicene".

% smc_gettacl bambi nicene:ben_hur

The following command pipes output from smc_gettacl to smc_settacl, setting the ACL for "bambi" to match that of "ben_hur".

% smc_gettacl nicene:ben_hur | smc_settacl -f - bambi
