I know that the command names are based on setfacl and getfacl. But som=

I still wonder about these names. They just don=C2=B4t fit.

Its chsomething for changing things in Unix traditionally =E2=80=93 cho=
wn, chmod,=20
chattr, chage chsh, you name it =E2=80=93, but there is nothing for que=
rying things.=20
So I get where this is coming from, yet I always found setfacl and getf=
acl=20
command names cumbersome.

Sorry, for posting here instead of a previous richacl implementation pa=
tchset.=20
I fully appreciate that it may be too late to change anything regarding=
=20
command names. Also considering usermod and groupmod the command naming=
 in=20
Unix / Linux appears to be a big mess anyway.

Thanks,
