There are a number of activities that the kernel cannot easily do itself. This program is a callout program that does these things for the kernel and then returns the result. It is not intended to be run from the command-line. cifs.idmap cifs.upcall is a userspace helper program for the linux CIFS client filesystem. It is intended to be run when the kernel calls request-key for a particular key type. It is not intended to be run from the command-line. cifs.upcall cifscreds is a tool for managing credentials (username and password) for the purpose of establishing sessions in multiuser mounts. cifscreds getcifsacl is a userspace helper to display an ACL in a security descriptor for Common Internet File System (CIFS). getcifsacl mount.cifs mounts a Linux CIFS filesystem. It is usually invoked indirectly by the mount(8) command when using the "-t cifs" option. mount.cifs setcifsacl is intended to alter an ACL of a security descriptor for a file system object. setcifsacl
