The NFS (Network File System) version 4[rfc3010bis] (NFSv4) specifies
a flavor of Access Control Lists (ACLs) that resembles that of
Windows NT's.  ACLs are used to specify fine grained control of
access to file system objects.  An ACL consists of a number of Access
Control Entries (ACEs), each specify some level of access for an
entity; an entity can be a a user, group or a special entity.  The
access level is described using an access mask, which is a bitmask
where each bit describes a level of access, for example read, write
and execute permissions on the file system object.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
