Retrieving File/Dir Permissions 1

[peterpruimboom]

I'm looking for a way to retrieve the permissions on a file or directory on Windows 2000. I know it must be possible because I'm using cacls.exe now to retrieve the permissions. But I woul'd prefer a programmatic solution to do this. Is there anyone who knows of an API or what so ever?

Thanks in advance,

Peter.

Can't see that link JavaJoe posted (firewall!), but if it doesn't mention it, have a look at the GetAttr() function

mmilan,

http://www.mentalis.org

is one web site you should really get unblocked, excellent resource. I beleive the GetAttr function is going to only tell you if the file is readonly, a system file, Hidden file, etc. but not permissions.

Thank you, DrJavaJoe, that will show me the way.

Alas DrJavaJoe, I deal in version 6 and not dotnet.

The allapi link however WILL be getting a closer look.
