.Dt STRMODE 3
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm strmode
|
|
.Nd convert inode status information into a symbolic string
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In string.h
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn strmode "mode_t mode" "char *bp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn strmode
|
|
function
|
|
converts a file
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
(the type and permission information associated with an inode, see
|
|
.Xr stat 2 )
|
|
into a symbolic string which is stored in the location referenced by
|
|
.Fa bp .
|
|
This stored string is eleven characters in length plus a trailing
|
|
.Dv NUL .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first character is the inode type, and will be one of the following:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag -offset indent -compact
|
|
.It \-
|
|
regular file
|
|
.It b
|
|
block special
|
|
.It c
|
|
character special
|
|
.It d
|
|
directory
|
|
.It l
|
|
symbolic link
|
|
.It p
|
|
fifo
|
|
.It s
|
|
socket
|
|
.It w
|
|
whiteout
|
|
.It ?
|
|
unknown inode type
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The next nine characters encode three sets of permissions, in three
|
|
characters each.
|
|
The first three characters are the permissions for the owner of the
|
|
file, the second three for the group the file belongs to, and the
|
|
third for the ``other'', or default, set of users.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Permission checking is done as specifically as possible.
|
|
If read permission is denied to the owner of a file in the first set
|
|
of permissions, the owner of the file will not be able to read the file.
|
|
This is true even if the owner is in the file's group and the group
|
|
permissions allow reading or the ``other'' permissions allow reading.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the first character of the three character set is an ``r'', the file is
|
|
readable for that set of users; if a dash ``\-'', it is not readable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the second character of the three character set is a ``w'', the file is
|
|
writable for that set of users; if a dash ``\-'', it is not writable.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The third character is the first of the following characters that apply:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width xxxx
|
|
.It S
|
|
If the character is part of the owner permissions and the file is not
|
|
executable or the directory is not searchable by the owner, and the
|
|
set-user-id bit is set.
|
|
.It S
|
|
If the character is part of the group permissions and the file is not
|
|
executable or the directory is not searchable by the group, and the
|
|
set-group-id bit is set.
|
|
.It T
|
|
If the character is part of the other permissions and the file is not
|
|
executable or the directory is not searchable by others, and the ``sticky''
|
|
.Pq Dv S_ISVTX
|
|
bit is set.
|
|
.It s
|
|
If the character is part of the owner permissions and the file is
|
|
executable or the directory searchable by the owner, and the set-user-id
|
|
bit is set.
|
|
.It s
|
|
If the character is part of the group permissions and the file is
|
|
executable or the directory searchable by the group, and the set-group-id
|
|
bit is set.
|
|
.It t
|
|
If the character is part of the other permissions and the file is
|
|
executable or the directory searchable by others, and the ``sticky''
|
|
.Pq Dv S_ISVTX
|
|
bit is set.
|
|
.It x
|
|
The file is executable or the directory is searchable.
|
|
.It \-
|
|
None of the above apply.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The last character will always be a space.
