From 05744b3176828c25f6e2cc2d663615252b4cd02f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Walter Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 19:57:56 -0500 Subject: Add string to mode_t parser added new function string_to_mode(char *m_string, mode_t base) which parses a given string and converts it to a mode_t. If either + or - are part of m_string the permissions are either added or removed from base. Currently support for permision copy is missing (e.g. g=u), but all other flags should work. Format for m_string: either symbolic modes or octal representation. symbolic modes: [auog][[+-=][rwxst]*] examples: string_to_mode("u=rwx,g=rw,o=r", 0); string_to_mode("a-x", 0777); string_to_mode("0744", 0); --- lib/lib.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'lib/lib.h') diff --git a/lib/lib.h b/lib/lib.h index c2190393..2f33236a 100644 --- a/lib/lib.h +++ b/lib/lib.h @@ -132,3 +132,5 @@ void bunzipStream(int src_fd, int dst_fd); int sig_to_num(char *pidstr); char *num_to_sig(int sig); + +mode_t string_to_mode(char *mode_str, mode_t base); -- cgit v1.2.3
