Mode

Unix st_mode bits: permissions, the set-user-ID/set-group-ID/sticky bits, and the file type.

Example

Reading a file's mode and applying it elsewhere:

let mode = metadata("template.sh").mode
update_metadata "script.sh" mode: $mode

let rw = Mode(:OWNER_READ:, :OWNER_WRITE:)

Inherits from: Iterable[ModeBit]

Implements: std.FlagSet[ModeBit]
