SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Utils::File::Group qw();
        my($result)=Meta::Utils::File::Group::check_hash($hash);

DESCRIPTION

This package can check and fix the group settings on files within your change.

FUNCTIONS

        get_gidx($)
        check_gidx($$$)
        check_hash_gidx($$$)
        grou2gidx($)
        check_hash_grou($$$)

FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

get_gidx($)

This routine receives a file name and returns the group id ownership of that file. The function dies if the file does not exist. The function uses the standard "stat" function to get the relevant information.

check_gidx($$$)

This routine receives a file, a group id and a verbose flag and makes sure that the file is of the appointed group. The result is 1 if the check went well and 0 otherwise.

check_hash_gidx($$$)

The function receives a hash reference, a group id and a verbose flag. This routine runs a check on all the files in the hash that they are indeed of the designated group received.

grou2gid($)

This function receives a group name and converts it to the group id.

check_hash_grou($$$)

This does exactly as the above function check_hash_gidx except it receives a group name and not an absolute id, and then translates it to an absolute id in order to make the check and simple calls: check_hash_gidx.

BUGS

None.
