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 .
