[Win32utils-devel] [win32-file] Suggested API change

[Daniel Berger]

Hi all,

As things stand now, to get the ACL for a file, it's a
two step process:

File.get_permissions("some_file").each{ |acct,perm|
  p acct
  p File.securities(perm)
}

I was thinking of merging these two calls into one so
that it would return a hash, with the account as the
key, and the value would be an array of access rights.
 Or possibly an array of ACLStruct's instead
of a hash.

In other words, File.get_permissions would call
File.securities internally.

Seem reasonable?  Or too much tinkering?  Perhaps a
separate method in case folks would rather have the
OR'd numeric value?

Regards,

Dan
