Convert Unix style permissions to strings like ls (0755 => 'rwxr-xr-x')
Node.js
var Perms = require('perms');
Web
<script src="perms.min.js"></script>
Convert a mode to a human-readable string like ls(1)
generates
var p = Perms.toString(0755);
console.log(p);
yields
rwxr-xr-x
Also handles special permissions
var p = Perms.toString(6660);
console.log(p);
yields
rwSrwS---
Go backwards as well!
var mode = Perms.toMode('rwxr-xr-t');
console.log(mode);
yields
1755
NOTE: This module makes it super tempting to parse ls(1)... don't do that!

Given a string, return the mode suitable for passing to fs.chmod
Given a mode (as an int), return a string suitable for printing to a user
npm install perms
npm test
