Details

Initial Release of rper (version 0.1)

• built with command gcc -o rper rper_0.1.c

Features

files (-f):

• makes the desired permissions changes to files only
• retained as the default flag if the directories flag (-d) is not used

directories (-d):

• makes the desired permissions changes to directories only
• can be used with the files flag (-f), if you wish to change directories and files to identical permissions (might not be what you want, use caution)

inclusive (-i):

• includes the specified directory (directory argument) when making permission changes
• can only be used with the directories flag (-d), has no effect when used with the files flag (-f)

non-recursive (-n):

• only makes changes to the files/directories within the specified directory (directory argument).. essentially the basic use of the chmod command

quiet (-s):

• suppresses normal output, but still displays any error output
• retained as default, if both suppressing flags are given

silenced (-S):

• suppresses all output, including errors
• defaults to -s flag, if both supressing flags are given

verbose (-v):

• displays all output; both directory and file changes are provided in output, regardless of flag given
• both suppressing flags are ignored if given

permissions (-p):

• uses an octal formatted argument (eg. 755 or 0644) as the desired changed permissions.
• allows the use of () as a wildcard, eg 64 will change the user (left-most), and others (right-most) permissions, but not the group(center) permission

help (-h | -H):

• displays help for the user

about (-a):

• displays information about rper
