Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud OS Config v1alpha API class OSPolicy.Types.Resource.Types.FileResource.
Consists of three octal digits which represent, in
order, the permissions of the owner, group, and other users for the
file (similarly to the numeric mode used in the linux chmod
utility). Each digit represents a three bit number with the 4 bit
corresponding to the read permissions, the 2 bit corresponds to the
write bit, and the one bit corresponds to the execute permission.
Default behavior is 755.
Below are some examples of permissions and their associated values:
read, write, and execute: 7
read and execute: 5
read and write: 6
read only: 4
