stat-mode provides human-readable representations of file system modes (permissions) returned by fs.stat. It simplifies understanding Unix-style permissions by converting the numerical output of stat calls into symbolic representations like "rwxr-xr-x". This package offers methods to check specific permissions (read, write, execute) for owner, group, and others. Ideal for Node.js applications requiring clear and concise display of file system permission information.
The npm package stat-mode experienced initial releases in early to mid-2014 (versions 0.0.1 to 0.2.0).

After November 2019, there have been no further releases as of September 9, 2025.
