Retrieving file/directory permissions

[peterpruimboom]

I'm looking for a way to retrieve the permissions on a file or directory on Windows 2000. I know it must be possible because I'm using cacls.exe now to retrieve the permissions. But I woul'd prefer a programmatic solution to do this. Is there anyone who knows of an API or what so ever?

Thanks in advance,

Peter.

How about:
GetAclInformation, InitializeAcl, SetAclInformation
