This code converts the standard -rwxrwxrwx
style of permissions generated by ls -l
into octal numbers that could be used with chmod
, and prepends them onto each line.
For example, it would make the following conversions:
-rwxr-xr--
7 5 4
-rwx-wx---
7 3 0
Note that this awk script does NOT support sticky or setuid bits.
