Official Documentation

SetACL comes in two flavors: a command-line version and a COM object. The former is a universally versatile tool that can be used manually, from batch files, scripts, installers and even full-fledged programs. The latter is accessible from COM-enabled scripting and programming languages only.

Documentation for the command-line version (SetACL.exe).

Documentation for the COM version (SetACL.ocx).
