Hello,

I write a perl script to show the file mask like -rwxr-xr-x is 0755, but
when I run my script, it shows 835 in this mode. I don't know why.

There's my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

if (@ARGV == 0)
{
die "Usage: filemask.pl <filename(s)>\n";
}

if (@ARGV != 0)
{
foreach $file (@ARGV)
{
unless (-e $file)
{
print "***Error: $file dose not exist.\n";
next;
}
unless (-r $file)
{
print "***Error: Cannot read $file.\n";
next;
}
my($mode) = stat($file);
print "$file ==> $mode\n";
}
}

Could you tell me how to solve this?

Thank you very much~

Regards,

Amy Lee

I change this part:

my($mode) = stat($file); to

my($dev, $ino, $mode, $nlink, $uid, $gid, $rdev, $size, $atime, $mtime,
$ctime, $blksize, $blocks) = stat($file);

However, it's useless, what happened?

Thanks,

Print the mode in octal. The permissions you refer to above are octal
numbers, but you print them in decimal.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

for my $f (@ARGV)
{
my ($mode) = (stat $f)[2];
printf "$f: %o\n", $mode;
}

As with most of the questions that you post here, you can solve it
by reading the documentation for the function that you are using:

perldoc -f stat

...
Because the mode contains both the file type and its permissions,
you should mask off the file type portion and (s)printf using a
"%o" if you want to see the real permissions.

$mode = (stat($filename))[2];
printf "Permissions are %04o\n", $mode & 07777;
