FileSystem.getPosixModeBits() method
Retrieves the permissions (i.e. file mode bits) for a filesystem object. Behind the scenes it uses fs.chmodSync().
Signature:
static getPosixModeBits(path: string): PosixModeBits;
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| path | string | The absolute or relative path to the object that should be updated. |
Returns:
Remarks
This calls FileSystem.getStatistics() to get the POSIX mode bits. If statistics in addition to the mode bits are needed, it is more efficient to call FileSystem.getStatistics() directly instead.
