Perms plugin

Plugin to handle some unix filesystem permissions quickly.

To use it, add perms to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... perms)

Usage

CAUTION: these functions are harmful if you don't know what they do.

• set755: sets the permission to octal 755 for all given directories and their child directories (by default, starting from the current directory).

• set644: sets the permission to octal 644 for all files of the given directory (by default, the current directory), recursively. It will only affect regular files (no symlinks).

• resetperms is a wrapper around set755 and set644 applied to a specified directory or the current directory otherwise. It will set the permissions to 755 for directories, and 644 for files.

Reference

• octal 644: read and write for the owner, read for the group and others users.
• octal 755: read, write and execute permissions for the owner, and read and execute for the group and others users.
