Hi Thierry, You were right in asking for stat/fstat. The unix stat() call provides the uid and gid of the file, so those values are provided by primitiveFileStat. In order to determine if the file is e.g. readable, you need that information along with the file protection mask (also provided by primitiveFileStat), and of course you need to know the uid and gid of your VM process, see primitiveGetUid, primitiveGetGid, primitiveGetEUid and primitiveGetEGid in UnixOSProcessPlugin. There are also some unit tests that show how this works, for example: UnixProcessAccessorTestCase>>testIsReadableForUserInGroup I'm not sure if this helps with your original question, but maybe it will help as a reference.

Hi Lewis,
we have already this in a way; Pharo provides the permissions as per stat in fact, but probably not the uid/guid of the file which would allow for a real check of the permissions.
(that is, the current (wrong) situation is that isReadable returns ownerCanRead, which has a strong chance of being wrong for a directory owned by root, as you can guess)
As you can see, I was wrong in asking for stat/fstat... But thanks for the info.

(It's for 2.0 at the moment. I'll try on 3.0 to port the same code).
Oh, it has a problem with utf8 :(
and most probably it won't work under OSX.
I think you have to implement these primitives on the different platform specific stores, that implies a separate version for win/mac/linux
Both the concept and the implementation will be different on Windows, but for Unix and OS X you can use this for reference:
UnixOSProcessPlugin>>primitiveFileStat "Call stat(2) to obtain the file protection mask for a file. Answer errno on failure, or on success answer an array with: UID with: GID with: protectionMask. The protectionMask is an Array of four integers representing the protection mask, or answer errno on failure. The protection mask is four Integers, each of which may be considered an octal digit (0-7), with bit values 4, 2, and 1. The first digit selects the set user ID (4) and set group ID (2) and save text image (1) attributes. The second digit selects permissions for the user who owns the file: read (4), write (2), and execute (1); the third selects permissions for other users in the file's group, with the same values; and the fourth for other users not in the file's group, with the same values."
For example:
OSProcess accessor fileStat: '/etc/hosts'
