File::Stat#world_readable?

() -> ::Integer?

stat.world_readable? → integer or nil

static VALUE
rb_stat_wr(VALUE obj)
{
#ifdef S_IROTH
    struct stat *st = get_stat(obj);
    if ((st->st_mode & (S_IROTH)) == S_IROTH) {
        return UINT2NUM(st->st_mode & (S_IRUGO|S_IWUGO|S_IXUGO));
    }
#endif
    return Qnil;
}

If stat is readable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of stat. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).

Example

m = File.stat("/etc/passwd").world_readable?  #=> 420
sprintf("%o", m)                              #=> "644"
