Determining file access perms for current process

Stupid question, but is there an ANSI C stdlib function that will do this for me? I want to pass the function a path and determine if the current process can read/write/execute on the path. I suppose I can whip something up using fstat and then determining the current process's user/group IDs and...

Determining file size for a list of files with paths

Hello, I have a flat file with a list of files with the path to the file and I am attempting to calculate the filesize for each one; however xargs isn't playing nicely and I am sure there is probably a better way of doing this. What I envisioned is this: cat filename|xargs -i ls -l {} |awk...

number::compare

Number::Compare(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Number::Compare(3)

NAME

       Number::Compare - numeric comparisons

SYNOPSIS

	Number::Compare->new(">1Ki")->test(1025); # is 1025 > 1024

	my $c = Number::Compare->new(">1M");
	$c->(1_200_000);			  # slightly terser invocation

DESCRIPTION

       Number::Compare compiles a simple comparison to an anonymous subroutine, which you can call with a value to be tested again.

       Now this would be very pointless, if Number::Compare didn't understand magnitudes.

       The target value may use magnitudes of kilobytes ("k", "ki"), megabytes ("m", "mi"), or gigabytes ("g", "gi").  Those suffixed with an "i"
       use the appropriate 2**n version in accordance with the IEC standard: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html

METHODS

   ->new( $test )
       Returns a new object that compares the specified test.

   ->test( $value )
       A longhanded version of $compare->( $value ).  Predates blessed subroutine reference implementation.

   ->parse_to_perl( $test )
       Returns a perl code fragment equivalent to the test.
