Changes since 1.0:
Version 1.3 (2006-11-02):
Allowed libtool libraries whose name does not start with "lib".
Version 1.2 (2006-10-25):
Libtool libraries (*.la) may keep the executable bit.
Version 1.1 (2006-10-24):
The new -c option checks whether files that have the executable
bit set are really executable.
checkperms is a small and simple program that detects many
inconsistencies in file and directory permissions. Theoretically, there
are 2^12 valid combinations (setuid, setgid, sticky, owner-rwx,
group-rwx, other-rwx), but only very few of them are actually used.
It can automatically fix the permissions if instructed so.
