OWNER_READ True if owner can read OWNER_WRITE True if owner can write OWNER_EXECUTE True if owner can run OWNER_DELETE True if owner can delete GROUP_CD True if owner can enter this directory
Is it possible to have something along the lines of ME_{READ,WRITE,EXECUTE,DELETE,CD} to say if, as the user the program is running as, you can perform these actions? That strikes me as rather useful. (Alternately, could we have a field indicating if the current user is OWNER, GROUP, SYSTEM, or OTHER to this file? Gives you pretty much the same info.)
