[BK-2020-03.git] / user / chmoddirbr

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Desc: Applies chmod to a segment of a directory branch of the
# filesystem tree. Changes applied to all directories starting with
# TIP and ending with (but not including) TRUNK.

# Usage: chmoddirbr [path TRUNK] [path TIP]
# Input: arg1: TRUNK path
#        arg2: TIP path
#        arg3+ arguments to be passed on to chmod
# Output: None.
# Depends: GNU Coreutils 8.30 (chmod), Bash 5.0.3

# Example: chmoddirbr /tmp /tmp/1/2/3/4/5/6 o+rx
#   This runs `chmod o+rx /tmp/1/2/3/4/5/6`
#             `chmod o+rx /tmp/1/2/3/4/5`
#             `chmod o+rx /tmp/1/2/3/4`
#             ...
#             `chmod o+rx /tmp/1`
