[Gambas-user] Stat() Auth and Mode (misunderstanding or bug?)

[Willy Raets]

Hi all,

Following was brought to my attention:

To reproduce make a file named test in your home folder.
Create a console project in IDE with any name you like

Public Sub Main()

  Dim sPath As String
  sPath = User.Home &/ "test"
  With Stat(sPath)
    Print "Auth: " & .Auth
    Print "Mode: " & .Mode
 End With

End

Run the project.
Output is:

Auth: rw-r--r--
Mode: 420

Should mode not be 644 or do I misunderstand Stat().Mode?

user rw- = 6
group r-- = 4
other r-- = 4
