convert numeric file mode to string representation 

Function

SYNOPSIS

#include <string.h>

void strmode(mode_t m, char *p);

DESCRIPTION

The function strmode() converts the numeric file mode m, as would be obtained from a call to stat(), into a string representation. The null-terminated string is copied to the buffer addressed by p. The string format is similar to that displayed by the UNIX command ls -l. Including the terminating null, it is twelve characters long.

PARAMETERS

m 

Is the file mode that encodes access permissions and file type.

p 

Points to the buffer used to hold the string representation of file mode m.

RETURN VALUES

None.

CONFORMANCE

4.4BSD, with exceptions.

MULTITHREAD SAFETY LEVEL

PORTING ISSUES

The UNIX security model is significantly different from that of Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7/2008. Refer to Security in the Windows Concepts chapter of the MKS Toolkit UNIX to Windows Porting Guide for a description of how the NuTCRACKER Platform maps between these security models.
