Dear god, you guys really like hurting yourselves.
If filetest doesn't do it, why not just something on the order of:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
struct stat stbuf;
if (!stat(argv[1], &stbuf))
printf("%o\n", stbuf.st_mode);
else
printf("error: stat failed\n");
}
Cheers,
Ben
