Item Stats

Retrieves statistics for a given file or directory path.

This node checks for the existence of a file or directory and returns its properties.

Outputs Explained#

  • size: The size is given in bytes. Note that for directories, the reported size is for the directory's metadata, not the total size of its contents. This value can vary between operating systems.

  • permissions: The permissions are returned as a standard three-digit number, common in Unix-like systems. For example, an octal permission 0o755 will be output as the number 755.

Digit Meaning rwx
7 read, write, exec 111
6 read, write 110
5 read, exec 101
4 read only 100
2 write only 010
1 exec only 001
0 no permission 000

The three digits represent permissions for User, Group, and Other, respectively.
