See permissions of all intermediate directories of a path?

Question

Is there any single command to see the file/directory permissions of all the intermediate directories of a path?

Answer 1

You can run this code :

lsd() { local v="$1"; while :; do v="${v%/*}"; [[ "$v" && ! -f "$v" ]] || break; ls -ld "$v"; done; }


lsd /usr/share/doc/acl/README
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 14 mai   12:28 /usr/share/doc/acl/
drwxr-xr-x 145 root root 4096  4 nov.  06:23 /usr/share/doc/
drwxr-xr-x 263 root root 12288  4 nov.  06:23 /usr/share/
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 28 oct.  22:47 /usr/

Edit: added local keyword

Edit2: The last item error is resolved

Here is a simple while-loop which does the job:

f="$PWD"
while [ "$f" != "/" ]
do
    ls -ld "$f"
    f=$(dirname "$f")
done
