octal literal in os.chmod? #1

Closed lambdaq closed 7 years ago

lambdaq commented 7 years ago 
os.chmod(tmp.name, 0666)
os.chmod(fifo_name, 0777)

So 0666 === 438 and 0777 == 511 is these two lines intentional or a typo?

*nix file permissions are octal, so this appears to be intentional as well as correct. This Wikipedia page has a breakdown, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod#Octal_modes :-)

@beardypig You are correct. Thanks!
