how to findout the permission of a library.

howardhaoracle

Hi..

Is there a skill code that I can use to find out the permission of a library instead of clicking on the property button on a library to find out??

Example: When I use the GUI from the lib browser, I am able to find out the permission of a library whether it has write or read permission. My question is is there a Skill code that I can use to find that out instead of clicking on the library's property?

 Thanks in advance for your help

Howard

  • Several methods, one of the should fit to your needs.

    ddGetObj( "myLib" )~>ownerAccess
    ddGetObj( "myLib" )~>groupAccess

    resp.
    ddGetObjAccess( ddGetObj("myLib") "owner" )

    or 
    ddGetObj("myLib")~>isReadable
    ddGetObj("myLib")~>isWriteable

    resp.
    isReadable( ddGetObjReadPath( ddGetObj( "myLib" ) ) ) 
    isWritable( ddGetObjWritePath( ddGetObj( "myLib" ) ) ) 
                           

  •  These didn't work for me for some reason, so i found that I had to manually check:

                     ; Manually check access since Virtuoso seems to get it wrong sometimes
                    myCmd = sprintf(nil "/usr/bin/stat -c%%A %s/%s.oa", ddGetObjWritePath(obj), obj->name)
                    textresult=runCmd(myCmd)

                    rexCompile("w")
                    is_writable = rexExecute(textresult)

     

     Where runCmd is defined as:

     

     procedure(runCmd( myCmd )
      printf("Executing %s\n" myCmd);
      myCid = ipcBeginProcess(myCmd)
      ipcWait(myCid)
     
      textresult=""
      while( outputResult=ipcReadProcess(myCid)
         textresult=strcat(textresult, outputResult)
      ) ; while
      rexCompile("%")
      textresult = rexReplace(textresult, "%%", 0)
      printf(textresult)
      printf("\n")
      returnval=textresult
    )

     

     

     

  • I can't see why those wouldn't work, unless for some reason you're on some strange filesystem maybe. You should contact customer support.
