Is it possible to determine the Linux file permissions of a file or
directory from within the image running on Linux? |
IIRC the Pharo guys have added that feature to their version of
FilePlugin. Levente On Wed, 8 Jul 2015, Chris Muller wrote: > Is it possible to determine the Linux file permissions of a file or > directory from within the image running on Linux? > > |

Dave, I would like to say, OSProcess is one fine package! I keep
