cifs.idmap	is a userspace helper program for the linux CIFS client filesystem. 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.
getcifsacl	is a userspace helper to display an ACL in a security descriptor for Common Internet File System (CIFS).
mount.cifs	mounts a Linux CIFS filesystem. It is usually invoked indirectly by the mount(8) command when using the "-t cifs" option.
setcifsacl	is intended to alter an ACL of a security descriptor for a file system object.
