mode
You know that mode
property on the fs.Stat
object that you probably
usually just ignore? Well there's acutally a lot of information packed
into that number.
The specific information includes:
setuid
and setgid
bits are setsticky
bit is setThis module helps you extract that information.
All the getters are also setters, which change the mode
property
appropriately. This is useful for when you have to build up your
own fs.Stat
object for whatever reason (like when implementing a
FUSE filesystem.
$ npm install stat-mode
So given some arbitrary file (let's say /bin/echo
):
$ ls -l /bin/echo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 14128 Aug 11 2013 /bin/echo
We can inspect it using the fs.stat()
call and creating a Mode
instance
on top of it.
var fs = require('fs');
var Mode = require('stat-mode');
fs.stat('/bin/echo', function (err, stat) {
if (err) throw err;
// create a "Mode" instance on top of the `stat` object
var mode = new Mode(stat);
// you can check what kind of file it is:
mode.isDirectory();
// false
mode.isFIFO();
// false
mode.isFile();
// true
// and you can also check individual owner, group and others permissions
mode.owner.read;
// true
mode.owner.write;
// true
mode.owner.execute;
// true
mode.group.read;
// true
mode.group.write;
// false
mode.group.execute;
// true
mode.others.read;
// true
mode.others.write;
// false
mode.others.execute;
// true
// the `toString()` output resembes the `ls -l` output:
mode.toString();
// '-rwxr-xr-x'
});
You must pass in "stat" object to the Mode
constructor. The "stat"
object can be a real fs.Stat
instance, or really any Object with a
mode
property.
