Owner and Group Info in MX_FILESTATS

Scroll Prev Top Next More

MX_FILESTATS enhancement: two new optional arguments return the owner and group of the file. Currently this only applies to the UNIX versions, but may be supported under some Windows versions in the future. The complete syntax is now:

xcall MIAMEX, MX_FILESTATS, loc'rem, path, bytes {, mtime {, ctime {, mode {, ver {, hash {, owner {, group}}}}}}}

The new parameters, owner and group, may be returned as either integers or strings. If passed as B,4 variables, the numeric value (uid and gid) will be returned. Otherwise, the string names will be returned.
