Use find with the -type d option to find directories, and find again with the -type f option to find files. The -exec option of find can be used to run chmod.

NAME
FcDirScan - DEPRECATED: formerly used to scan a font directory SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lfontconfig [ library... ] #include <fontconfig.h> FcBool FcDirScan (FcFontSet *set, FcStrSet *dirs, FcFileCache *cache, FcBlanks *blanks, const FcChar8 *dir, FcBool force); DESCRIPTION
This function does nothing aside from returning FcFalse. It used to scan an entire directory and add all fonts found to set. If force was FcTrue, then the directory and all files within it were scanned even if information was present in the per-directory cache file or cache. Any subdirectories found were added to dirs. VERSION
Fontconfig version 2.5.0 ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWfontconfig | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Volatile | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |See XInitThreads(3X11) | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ 13 November 2007 FcDirScan(3)
