Not all permission bits have constants predeclared. Michael and I checked and Linux/FreeBSD/Darwin all have the upper bits declared like this:
#define S_ISUID 0004000 /* [XSI] set user id on execution */ #define S_ISGID 0002000 /* [XSI] set group id on execution #define S_ISVTX 0001000 /* [XSI] directory restrcted delete #define S_ISTXT S_ISVTX /* sticky bit: not supported */ Hereby a request to other "unix" port maintainers to check their headers to see if your OS implements these constants. (Solaris and Haiku mainly I guess, though the sleeping QNX and netwarelibc ports too I assume) Note that the latter two are both the sticky bit, the TXT alias is the original BSD symbol for it, the VTX declaration the current (XSI/POSIX) name. Most manpages warn that the sticky bit is hardly implemented, so it is probably less important than the other two. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
