Inspect POSIX file mode bits, octal permissions, and directory ownership
File Permission and Ownership Inspector is a desktop utility to inspect POSIX file
mode bits, octal permissions, and directory ownership across Linux filesystems.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by AccessChk and stat command-line tools,
it walks user and system folders, resolves numeric UIDs and GIDs through host
/etc/passwd and /etc/group tables, and evaluates effective read, write, and execute
access for any chosen local account or group.
Key Features:
- POSIX Mode & Ownership Inspector: Walks Linux directories via os.lstat() to display
symbolic modes (rwxr-xr-x), 4-digit octal modes, setuid/setgid/sticky attributes,
hardlink counts, inodes, and resolved UID:GID account names from host /etc/passwd
and /etc/group.
- Effective R/W/X Access Evaluator: Computes effective Read, Write, and Execute
rights for any selected local user or group based on POSIX owner, primary group,
supplementary group memberships, and world mode bits.
- Interactive 12-Bit Octal Calculator & Safe Batch chmod Presets: Converts live
between 12-bit checkboxes, 4-digit octal numbers, and symbolic mode strings, and
applies standard os.chmod presets (0644, 0755, 0600, 0700) to user-owned files.
- Mode Distribution Chart & Structured Reports: Visualizes octal permission breakdown
and exports full file mode and ownership inventories to CSV and JSON files.
