Hi GNU,
what about having `chmod -[cv]` also print the old mode?
$ src/chmod -c 750 /tmp/x
mode of `/tmp/x' changed from 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) to 0750 (rwxr-x---)
$ src/chmod -c 750 /tmp/x
$ src/chmod -v 750 /tmp/x
mode of `/tmp/x' retained as 0750 (rwxr-x---)
$ src/chmod -v 755 /tmp/x
mode of `/tmp/x' changed from 0750 (rwxr-x---) to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
$ src/chmod -v 755 /tmp # I'm not root obviously
src/chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp': Operation not permitted
failed to change mode of `/tmp' from 1777 (rwxrwxrwt) to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x)
$ src/chmod -v 755 /x
src/chmod: cannot access `/x': No such file or directory
failed to change mode of `/x' from 0000 (---------) to 0000 (---------)
$ src/chmod -c 755 /x
src/chmod: cannot access `/x': No such file or directory
Have a nice day,
Berny
