Source

Returns the *nix-style file permissions for a file.

Description

From the PHP documentation page for fileperms().

Compatibility

WordPress
since 2.5.0
PHP
7.4–8.6-dev
  • 6.7.7
  • 6.8.8
  • 6.9.7
  • 7.0.4

Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Parameters

$filestring
String filename.

Return value

string
The *nix-style representation of permissions.

Performance profile

How much work a call to WP_Filesystem_Base::gethchmod() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class
Trivial

Touches nothing outside its own arguments.

Scaling
Constant

No loop in the body: the same number of instructions runs whatever you pass in.

Instructions
76–87

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 129.

Plugin surface
None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by
0

Nothing in core calls this; the cost is only what you spend yourself.

What one call costs · 1 distinct outcome

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost WP_Filesystem_Base::gethchmod() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.

WhenInstructionsCalls it makes
!$perms76–87->getchmod(), intval()

This body has more branch combinations than are worth enumerating, so the table covers the outcomes found first rather than every one that exists.

Across PHP versions

Compiles the same on PHP 7.4, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5 and 8.6-dev: 129 instructions, 76–87 executed per call, 22 branches. The work does not change between versions.

An instruction is not a fixed amount of time, so a matching count is not necessarily the same speed; what it rules out is a difference in the work itself.
