File::Stat::ModeString - conversion file stat(2) mode to/from string representation.
use File::Stat::ModeString; $string = mode_to_string ( $st_mode ); $st_mode = string_to_mode ( $string ); $type = mode_to_typechar( $st_mode ); $record = <IN>; chomp $record; $record =~ m/^some_prefix\s+$MODE_STRING_RE\s+some_suffix$/o or die "invalid record format"; die "Invalid mode in $string" if is_mode_string_valid( $string );
This module provides a few functions for conversion between binary and literal representations of file mode bits, including file type.
All of them use only symbolic constants for mode bits from File::Stat::Bits.
Regular expression to match mode string (without ^$).
is_mode_string_valid( $string )
Returns true if argument matches mode string pattern.
$type = mode_to_typechar( $mode )
Returns file type character of binary mode, '?' on unknown file type.
$string = mode_to_string( $mode )
Converts binary mode value to string representation. '?' in file type field on unknown file type.
$mode = string_to_mode( $string )
Converts string representation of file mode to binary one.
