I have been trying to interpret POSIX values returned from the attributes obtained from NSFilePosixPermissions and cannot make heads or tails out of the returned value.

The value returned is 420. What does this mean and how do I go about parsing this number into the specific permissions? And please tell me where this is documented. (I have looked).

It's not particularly well-documented; it's often assumed that anyone using a UNIX system is familiar with file permissions. They are, however, defined in 'man stat'; note that the values are _octal_. (420 decimal = 0644 octal: owner read/write, group read, world read.) _______________________________________________
