File Permissions

How mode is calculated

rwx => 4+ 2 + 1 = 7 r-- => 4 + 0 + 0 = 4 r-x => 4 + 0 + 1 = 5

So, if a file has permissions like so rwx r-x r-x

• The mode is 755
• The 3 parts correspond to root, group and user permissions respectively

This will be used in very single route mentioned in this file

GET get-perms

 {{server}}/get-perms

• Route to get the permissions of a file
• Returns the mode of said file
• 404 if file does not exist or the server is not running on superuser privileges

{
	path: "/home/blon/somefile.txt"
}

POST set-perms

 {{server}}/set-perms

• Route to set the permissions of a file
• Expects a uint mode
• If default mode is not provided, 400 is assumed
• 404 NOT FOUND if file does not exist or the server is not running on superuser privileges

{
	path: "/home/blon/somefile.txt"
	mode: 755
}
