Class name for unix-like permission object

Question

I have a class to store unix-like permissions for user, group and other. In principle it is a limited access control list but I don't want to name it ACL, because usually an ACL is something different.

The class looks basically like this:

class X {
  boolean userRead, userWrite, userExecute;
  boolean groupRead, groupWrite, groupExecute;
  boolean otherRead, otherWrite, otherExecute;
}

How to name a class like this? What is the name in Unix?

Answer 1

It looks like it deals strictly with file permissions, so what about calling it FilePermissions?

Answer 2

Often for such questions, the answer is in the question. I would call it Permissions with a comment above saying "Unix-like permissions for user, group, and other".

Answer 3

I'd go with class permission_bits { }, probably in a package unix.

Answer 4

1) PermissionStatus
2) st_mode see http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/Permission-Bits.html#Permission-Bits
