Re: Help converting NSFilePosixPermissions to Octal representation



Addendum: I guess the format should actually be %O (unsigned long) instead of %o (unsigned int) since it's defined as an unsigned long, though the upper bits probably won't be filled at all.

unsigned long perms = [[fileAttributes objectForKey:NSFilePosixPermissions] unsignedLongValue];
NSString *permsInOctal = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%o", perms];

Hello,

someone please tell me how to get the Octal representation from the returned
value of [fileAttributes objectForKey:NSFilePosixPermissions].


Thanks,
