Mode Property

The UNIX-style filemode when uuencoding / uudecoding.

Syntax

 netcode.getMode([callback])
 netcode.setMode( mode, [callback])

Default Value

"0755"

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getMode([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setMode([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains the UNIX-style filemode when uuencoding / uudecoding. The filemode is usually an octal number such as 755 or 600 which gives the protections of that file. If the file to uudecode is correctly read then this property contains the protection string given in the uuencoded data.

Given for compatibility with other systems. Used only when Format is fmtUUE.
