Documentation

data Permset

A combination of read, write and execute permissions.

Constructors

Permset

Fields

hasRead :: Bool

hasWrite :: Bool

hasExecute :: Bool

Instances

Eq Permset

Read Permset

Show Permset

emptyPermset :: Permset

No permission.

fullPermset :: Permset

Read, write and execute permissions.

unionPermsets :: Permset -> Permset -> Permset

Give a permission if any of the two arguments grant that permission.

intersectPermsets :: Permset -> Permset -> Permset

Give a permission if both the arguments grant that permission.

data ACL

Represent a valid ACL as defined in POSIX.1e. The Show instance is defined to output the Long Text Form of the ACL (section 23.3.1), while the Read instance is defined to be able to parse both the long and short text form.
