How it works...
First, before digging into the script itself or even the attributes/properties of files, we need to know a few things about Linux and its sibling operating systems:
- Files and directories can be owned. This means that they can have an owner (user) and groups associated with their ownership. For this, we can use the chown and chgrp commands.
- Files and directories can have different permissions applied to them. This means that they may be executable, readable, writable, and/or everything. For this, we can use the chmod command and the appropriate permission setting.
- Files and directories can also be empty.
Great! Furthermore, there are two more concepts that need to be introduced:
- The read command, which is used to wait for user input and read it into a variable. It is also useful for "pause" functionality in scripts.
- Recursive functions. Notice that inside of the script unless it exits or the user presses ctl + C, the script keeps calling a particular function. This is recursion and it will continue unless stopped or a limit is applied.
At this point, we also know functions, parameters, input/output, return codes, subshells, and conditional logic. You may not have noticed the ! character, and this is used to negate a statement. For example, if we test for the existence of fileops/bobs.txt using the -e test operator, it will return true. Instead, we can test for the opposite, which is that fileops/bobs.txt is non-existent.
- Great! We have created our script and are ready to execute it.
- Upon executing the script, we are greeted with:
$ ./files-extended.sh
Welcome to the file attributes tester
To exit, press CTRL + C
What is the complete path of the file you want to inspect?
#
If we look back at the setup for this recipe, we know that we created several files inside of the directory fileops/ and that a few of them have different permissions, one of which is owned by a user named Bob.
Let's try a few executions (in order) :
- fileops/bobs.txt
- fileops/write.txt
- fileops/exec.txt
- fileops/all.txt
- thisDoesNotExist.txt:
# fileops/bobs.txt
"fileops/bobs.txt" file size is: 11"
rbrash is not the owner of "fileops/bobs.txt"
rbrash is not among the owning group(s) for "fileops/bobs.txt"
What are our permissions on this file?
[R] Read
What is the complete path of the file you want to inspect?
# fileops/write.txt
"fileops/write.txt" is empty
What are our permissions on this file?
[W] Write
What is the complete path of the file you want to inspect?
# fileops/exec.txt
"fileops/exec.txt" is empty
What are our permissions on this file?
{X] Exec
What is the complete path of the file you want to inspect?
# fileops/all.txt
"fileops/all.txt" is empty
What are our permissions on this file?
[R] Read
[W] Write
{X] Exec
What is the complete path of the file you want to inspect?
# fileops
Directory "fileops" has children:
all.txt
bobs.txt
empty.txt
exec.txt
read.txt
string.txt
swordinthestone.txt
write.txt
What are our permissions on this directory?
[R] Read
[W] Write
{X] Exec
What is the complete path of the file you want to inspect?
# thisDoesNotExist.txt
Error: "thisDoesNotExist.txt" does not exist!
$
As thisDoesNotExist.txt does not exist, the script abruptly exits and places you back at the console prompt. We tested with the various flags, negation, ownership, and even our ever useful utility xargs.
