how to list files of specific permissions using UNIX ls command ?

Question

I would like to see all the files recursively in a directory or drive which are not read only.

I would like to do this as i am using the clear case and i would like to check on on the files which are to be added to he source control or view-private files.

even a clear case command would help thanks. For clear case specific i tried "ls -vob_only" command but not helped or i failed to use it so felt that using UNIX command might help.

Answer 1

find . -type f -perm -o=r

Answer 2

find . -type f -perm 

for more information check the man page for -perm options.

Answer 3

A committed file in ClearCase is indeed read-only.

If by "not read only" you refer to private files not yet added to a view, you can start by looking for private files, based on grep rules on a recursive ls

cleartool ls -r -nxn

That would be safer than the "read only" criteria, since private files can also be read only (even though they are "not checked-in" yet, not yet managed by ClearCase)

The idea behind a recursive ls is to display all the rules associated with all the files of your view.

• No rule means "private" (whether the file is read-only or not)
• Rule: ...\aBranch\LATEST means it is committed (and -- incidentally -- read-only)
• Rule: CHECKEDOUT means it is committed, but being modified (read-write, but nothing prevents the user to make it read-only again without checking it in)
• Rule: hijacked/eclipsed: committed, but modified without having being checked-out yet (read-write, but again, can be turned read-only without notifying ClearCase)

So you can grep whatever set of files you actually need from that list, based on ClearCase rules (or lack thereof).
