FILEPERMS

Syntax

Envariable: M2H_FILEPERMS=octal-mode
Element: <FILEPERMS>
octal-mode
</FILEPERMS>
Command-line Option: -fileperms octal-mode

The use of FILEPERMS on non-Unix-type operating systems may have limited functionality. See the chmod function under the Function Implementations of the perlport manpage of the Perl documentation for specifics on how Unix-type permissions are applied to your operating system.

FILEPERMS sets the permissions of archive files. File permissions are specified as an octal number: the same format as used by the Unix chmod(1) command. The following provides common values:

`0666`	User, group, and other readable and writable.
`0644`	User readable and writable; group and other readable.
`0600`	User readable and writable; anyone else is denied access.

The UMASK resource is applied to the value of FILEPERMS as follows: FILEPERMS &~ UMASK. For example, if FILEPERMS equals 0666 and UMASK equals 022, archive files will have the permissions 0644, read/write for user and read-only access to all others.

NOTE

To explicitly control the permissions of the DBFILE use DBFILEPERMS.

Default Setting

NOTE

Remember, UMASK is applied to FILEPERMS, so the actual permissions of archive files will generally be less than 0666.
