[BK-2020-03.git] / user / chmoddirbr
1 #!/usr/bin/env bash
2 # Desc: Applies chmod to a segment of a directory branch of the
3 # filesystem tree. Changes applied to all directories starting with
4 # TIP and ending with (but not including) TRUNK.
5
6 # Usage: chmoddirbr [path TRUNK] [path TIP]
7 # Input: arg1: TRUNK path
8 # arg2: TIP path
9 # arg3+ arguments to be passed on to chmod
10 # Output: None.
11 # Depends: GNU Coreutils 8.30 (chmod), Bash 5.0.3
12
13 # Example: chmoddirbr /tmp /tmp/1/2/3/4/5/6 o+rx
14 # This runs `chmod o+rx /tmp/1/2/3/4/5/6`
15 # `chmod o+rx /tmp/1/2/3/4/5`
16 # `chmod o+rx /tmp/1/2/3/4`
17 # ...
18 # `chmod o+rx /tmp/1`
