Donagh McCabe c0fdc53b49 Document access control lists (ACLs)
Documents the syntax and meaning of container ACLs. Account ACLs
were already pretty well documented. However the account
ACL text was moved as part of this change.

TempAuth and keystoneauth have diffent ACLs. However, I decided
to describe both in one section/table because there are many
"examples" of ACLs in other documents, and it's better that
someone coming here from those sources become aware that the
specific ACL might not apply to them. In addition, the
referrer and .rlistings is common to both.

Some changes were also made to the api-ref document. The doc
and api-ref documents are published as seperate documents, so
the cross references from the api-ref section will not work
until this patch merges and the documents are rebuilt.

Welcome to Swift's documentation!

Swift is a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store. Organizations can use Swift to store lots of data efficiently, safely, and cheaply.

This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional documentation on Swift and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki and at http://docs.openstack.org.
