File Permissions

This answer gave to good tools for printing file permissions in octal:

stat -c %a [filename] 
find [path] -print '%m %p\n'

Which is a simpler approach to the problem than this stackoverflow post:

ls -ltha |
 awk '{k=0;for(i=0;i<=8;i++)k+=((substr($1,i+2,1)~/[rwx]/) \
*2^(8-i)); if(k)printf("%0o ",k); print}'

Although the second answer works in OpenBSD and Ubuntu.
