Logic of owner of directory or file
Would the owner as listed , be the one who made the directory in the first place. when any one could use chown in a script.
I do not know where this directory came form or who made it. And am attempting to just find out more info on it.
what could i use to find its origins and its why does it exist.
Code:
joe:~ treesalt$ ls Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -la Library/Voices
total 0
drwx------+ 2 treesalt staff 68 Oct 9 22:02 .
drwx------+ 32 treesalt staff 1088 Feb 2 15:52 ..
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -e Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -l Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -a Library/Voices
. ..
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -lse Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -L Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -u Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -la Library/Voices/.
total 0
drwx------+ 2 treesalt staff 68 Oct 9 22:02 .
drwx------+ 32 treesalt staff 1088 Feb 2 15:52 ..
joe:~ treesalt$ ls -la Library/Voices/*
ls: Library/Voices/*: No such file or directory
joe:~ treesalt$
any assistance ?
------
i was just over at: homework and course questions
topic: Unix ls command question
and saw a suggestion of using du
Code:
joe:~ treesalt$ du -a Library/Voices
0 Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ du -H Library/Voices
0 Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ du Library/Voices
0 Library/Voices
joe:~ treesalt$ du -c Library/Voices
0 Library/Voices
0 total
joe:~ treesalt$ du -L Library/Voices
0 Library/Voices
as well as a suggestion to cd into another directory and then ls the directory in question.
Code:
joes:Desktop treesalt$ ls -la ../Library/Voices
total 0
drwx------+ 2 treesalt staff 68 Oct 9 22:02 .
drwx------+ 32 treesalt staff 1088 Feb 2 15:52 ..
with the number of links i just wonder ? what the ? is going on here.
Thank you.
any reference on books in bash for the mac.
The $HOME/Library/Voices directory is a standard directory made when your user account was created. As far as forensics, use the command stat. This will list "birthtime"and give you an accurate creation date of the file/directory.

test -w pwd ; echo ?
This doesn't work as it returns false, even though I have write permission. (4 Replies)
