The z/OS® Distributed File Service zSeries® File System (zFS) is a z/OS UNIX file system that can be used like the Hierarchical File System (HFS). zFS file systems contain files and directories, including Access Control Lists (ACLs), that can be accessed with the z/OS HFS application programming interfaces (APIs).
