phmod

phmod is a simple translator for chmod written in Go (1.14). Given an octal (771) or symbolic (rwxr-x--x) representation of a chmod input, phmod will produce its opposite with the option of some explanation using the -l flag.

Install

Run GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/PMcca/phmod to install the package to your $GOPATH/bin directory. Next run ln -s $GOPATH/bin/phmod /usr/local/bin/phmod to run it via your $PATH.

Usage

phmod [OPTION] <args>

Options:
--long, -l     Prints the result in verbose, human-readable format.
--help, -h     show help
--version, -v  print the version

NOTE To give an input such as --xrwxrwx (that is, the argument starting with -), precede the argument with --. e.g.

phmod -- --xrwxrwx

Output: 177

Example

phmod 571 Output: r-xrwx--x

phmod -l r-xrwx--x Output:
