Hello Andreas,

Here, some comments on the getrichacl(1) page.

I know that the command names are based on setfacl and getfacl. But sometimes 
I still wonder about these names. They just don´t fit.

Its chsomething for changing things in Unix traditionally – chown, chmod, 
chattr, chage chsh, you name it –, but there is nothing for querying things. 
So I get where this is coming from, yet I always found setfacl and getfacl 
command names cumbersome.

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

Thanks,
