shtool-fixperm
SHTOOL-FIXPERM.TMP(1) GNU Portable Shell Tool SHTOOL-FIXPERM.TMP(1)
NAME
shtool-fixperm - GNU shtool file permission fixing command
SYNOPSIS
shtool fixperm [-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace] path [path ...]
DESCRIPTION
shtool fixperm fixes file permissions inside a source tree under path by cleaning up the permission bits. It determines the cleaned up
permission from the already set bits. It is intended to be run before a tarball is rolled (usually with shtool tarball) out of a source
tree. The trick is that this is more convenient than having to set the permissions manually or by using a large file list.
OPTIONS
The following command line options are available.
-v, --verbose
Display some processing information.
-t, --trace
Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed.
EXAMPLE
# Makefile.in
dist:
shtool fixperm -v *
...
HISTORY
The GNU shtool fixperm command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1996 for OSSP eperl. It was later
taken over into GNU shtool.

shtool(1), chmod(1).
