Package Exports

perms

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (perms) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

perms

Convert Unix style permissions to strings like ls (0755 => 'rwxr-xr-x')

Examples

Given

var perms = require('perms')

Convert a mode to a human-readable string like ls(1) generates

var p = perms.toString('0755');
console.log(p);

yields

rwxr-xr-x

Also handles special permissions

var p = perms.toString('6660');
console.log(p);

yields

rwSrwS---

Go backwards as well!

var mode = perms.toMode('rwxr-xr-t');
console.log(mode);

yields

NOTE: This module makes it super tempting to parse ls(1)... don't do that!
