getting file or dir modes before chmod

[geelsu]

Does anyone know of a trick or tool that will show me the numeric mode of a file or directory?

Example:

neatcmd.bash /dir1/dir2/file1

/dir1/dir2/file1 permissions are 0640


Or does anyone know of a tool or command what would convert, for example rwxr-x--- to 0750

I suppose it could be scripted, but I was trying to make sure I did not have to re-invent the wheel if something was already out there.

stat --format="%a" <FILE>
stat --format="%A" <FILE>
stat --format="%a%A" <FILE>
