I had some further thoughts about this. Forking is expensive in cygwin, so I was experimenting with spawning one less process by doing: perms=`stat -c %A parent` It appears that only ls is appending the '+' for ACLs; should stat also be given a format character for printing whether a file has additional permissions? For the purposes of the testsuite, making it separate from %A is nice, because then you don't have to strip a trailing '+' (or any of the other trailing information in a long ls listing) when determining a file's permissions. $ ls -ld . drwxr-xr-x+ 14 eblake None 0 May 2 06:25 . $ stat -c %A . drwxr-xr-x stat(1) doesn't appear to be in any standards, and coreutils stat has a different set of options than either the zsh builtin or the FreeBSD version (http://tautology.org/software/man/stat). Nice things about the FreeBSD version that coreutils does not have: - -F: display like `ls -lTF' - -n: supress newline between files - -q: supress errors from stat/lstat - -f format: (similar to coreutils -c without -f) allows flags and width between % and character %p file type and permissions %l (similar to coreutils %h) %r device number for character and block devices %a (similar to coreutils %x) %m (similar to coreutils %y) %c (similar to coreutils %z) %B inode creation time (not all filesystems support this) %z (similar to coreutils %s) %k (similar to coreutils %o) %f user-defined flags %v inode generation number %T file type indicator (*/=@|%) %Y symlink target %Z major,minor on special devices, size on others %% single % (undocumented in coreutils) - -l: display like `ls -lT' - -r: raw stat field entries (is this like coreutils -t?) - -s: quote output, suitable for shell variable initialization - -x: more verbose - -t timefmt: format dates with input similar to date(1) - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
