What is this tool?

Unix file permissions control who can read, write, or execute a file, split into three owner/group/public triads each summing to one octal digit (read=4, write=2, execute=1). This calculator lets you toggle those bits to get the numeric (755) and symbolic (-rwxr-xr-x) modes, or paste an existing mode to see it broken down. Setuid, setgid, and sticky bits aren't covered.

How to use it

  1. Toggle read, write, and execute for owner, group, and public.
  2. Read the numeric and symbolic modes as they update live.
  3. Or paste an existing numeric or symbolic mode to load it into the grid.
