instance method

Pathname#setuid?

() -> bool
setuid? → true or false

Returns whether the setuid bit is set in the special bits for the entry at the path in self:

Example
pn = Pathname('doc/t.tmp')
pn.write('foo')
mode = pn.stat.mode.to_s(8) # => "100664"
pn.setuid?                  # => false
pn.chmod(0o4644)            # Set the bit.
mode = pn.stat.mode.to_s(8) # => "104644"
pn.setuid?                  # => true
pn.delete                   # Clean up.

On Windows, the bit is never set; the method always returns false.
