36 | .Dt STRMODE 3 | ||
37 | .Os | ||
38 | .Sh NAME | ||
39 | .Nm strmode | ||
40 | .Nd convert inode status information into a symbolic string | ||
41 | .Sh SYNOPSIS | ||
42 | .Fd #include <string.h> | ||
43 | .Ft void | ||
44 | .Fn strmode "mode_t mode" "char *bp" | ||
45 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
46 | The | ||
47 | .Fn strmode | ||
48 | function | ||
49 | converts a file | ||
50 | .Fa mode | ||
51 | (the type and permission information associated with an inode, see | ||
52 | .Xr stat 2 ) | ||
53 | into a symbolic string which is stored in the location referenced by | ||
54 | .Fa bp . | ||
55 | This stored string is eleven characters in length plus a trailing | ||
56 | .Dv NULL . | ||
57 | .Pp | ||
58 | The first character is the inode type, and will be one of the following: | ||
59 | .Pp | ||
60 | .Bl -tag -width flag -offset indent -compact | ||
61 | .It \- | ||
62 | regular file | ||
63 | .It b | ||
64 | block special | ||
65 | .It c | ||
66 | character special | ||
67 | .It d | ||
68 | directory | ||
69 | .It l | ||
70 | symbolic link | ||
71 | .It p | ||
72 | fifo | ||
73 | .It s | ||
74 | socket | ||
75 | .It ? | ||
76 | unknown inode type | ||
77 | .El | ||
78 | .Pp | ||
79 | The next nine characters encode three sets of permissions, in three | ||
80 | characters each. | ||
81 | The first three characters are the permissions for the owner of the | ||
82 | file, the second three for the group the file belongs to, and the | ||
83 | third for the ``other'', or default, set of users. | ||
84 | .Pp | ||
85 | Permission checking is done as specifically as possible. | ||
86 | If read permission is denied to the owner of a file in the first set | ||
87 | of permissions, the owner of the file will not be able to read the file. | ||
88 | This is true even if the owner is in the file's group and the group | ||
89 | permissions allow reading or the ``other'' permissions allow reading. | ||
90 | .Pp | ||
91 | If the first character of the three character set is an ``r'', the file is | ||
92 | readable for that set of users; if a dash ``\-'', it is not readable. | ||
93 | .Pp | ||
94 | If the second character of the three character set is a ``w'', the file is | ||
95 | writable for that set of users; if a dash ``\-'', it is not writable. | ||
96 | .Pp | ||
97 | The third character is the first of the following characters that apply: | ||
98 | .Bl -tag -width xxxx | ||
99 | .It S | ||
100 | If the character is part of the owner permissions and the file is not | ||
101 | executable or the directory is not searchable, by the owner, and the | ||
102 | set-user-id bit is set. | ||
103 | .It S | ||
104 | If the character is part of the group permissions and the file is not | ||
105 | executable or the directory is not searchable, by the group, and the | ||
106 | set-group-id bit is set. | ||
107 | .It T | ||
108 | If the character is part of the other permissions and the file is not | ||
109 | executable or the directory is not searchable, by others, and the ``sticky'' | ||
110 | .Pq Dv S_ISVTX | ||
111 | bit is set. | ||
112 | .It s | ||
113 | If the character is part of the owner permissions and the file is | ||
114 | executable or the directory searchable, by the owner, and the set-user-id | ||
115 | bit is set. | ||
116 | .It s | ||
117 | If the character is part of the group permissions and the file is | ||
118 | executable or the directory searchable, by the group, and the set-group-id | ||
119 | bit is set. | ||
120 | .It t | ||
121 | If the character is part of the other permissions and the file is | ||
122 | executable or the directory searchable, by others, and the ``sticky'' | ||
123 | .Pq Dv S_ISVTX | ||
124 | bit is set. | ||
125 | .It x | ||
126 | The file is executable or the directory is searchable. | ||
127 | .It \- | ||
128 | None of the above apply. | ||
129 | .El | ||
130 | .Pp | ||
131 | The last character is a plus sign ``+'' if any there are any alternate | ||
132 | or additional access control methods associated with the inode, otherwise | ||
133 | it will be a space. | ||
