Get a Numeric Permissions List for a Directory Tree???
Greetings!

Being a curious sort, I'm trying to get a numerical representation of a directory tree's permissions; in similar manner to the commonly-called ls -l command.

On that note, here's what cobbled out through the "digital interface" this afternoon:
Code:
find ./directory/ -name '*' -exec stat -c "%a" {} \;

Now, this is great for as far as it goes; recursing through whatever directory I point it at, pushing out all permissions to the console for the entire tree.

BUT, of course, there are no directory or file names associated with each of the linefed output; and I'm not quite sure what to shoehorn into this "one liner" to provide a line-by-line directory listing (similar in format to what's available via md5sum) as a finish.

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch!
