+.Nd retrieve access control list for a vnode
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In sys/vnode.h
+.In sys/acl.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn VOP_GETACL "struct vnode *vp" "acl_type_t type" "struct acl *aclp" "struct ucred *cred" "struct thread *td"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This vnode call may be used to retrieve the access control list (ACL) from a
+file or directory.
+.Pp
+Its arguments are:
+.Bl -tag -width type
+.It Fa vp
+The vnode of the file or directory.
+.It Fa type
+The type of ACL to retrieve.
+.It Fa aclp
+A pointer to an ACL structure to receive the ACL data.
+.It Fa cred
+The user credentials to use in authorizing the request.
+.It Fa td
+The thread requesting the ACL.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa cred
+pointer may be
+.Dv NULL
+to indicate that access control checks are not to be performed, if possible.
+This cred setting might be used to allow the kernel to authorize ACL
+retrieval that the active process might not be permitted to do.
+.Pp
+The vnode ACL interface defines the syntax, and not semantics, of file and
+directory ACL interfaces.
+More information about ACL management in kernel may be found in
+.Xr acl 9 .
+.Sh LOCKS
+The vnode will be locked on entry and should remain locked on return.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If the
+.Fa aclp
+pointer will point to a valid ACL, then zero is returned.
+Otherwise, an appropriate error code is returned.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The ACL type passed is invalid for this vnode.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+The the caller does not have the appropriate privilege.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
