Overview
Concessio is a Linux software tool designed to help users understand and convert UNIX file permissions.
It works as a system utility that focuses on showing file permissions in two common ways: symbolic and numeric.
This makes it easier for users to see how permissions correspond and switch between the two formats.
The main feature of Concessio is its ability to convert permissions from symbolic form (like rwxr-xr-x) into numeric form (such as 755), and vice versa.
Users can open a file within the app to read its current permissions, and Concessio will display those permissions in both styles.
You can also use toggle buttons to update permissions in either field, which automatically adjusts the other form to match.
Concessio includes a help dialog that explains how UNIX permissions work.
This is useful for learners or anyone wanting a clearer understanding of how permissions are structured and what different symbols or numbers mean.
This tool is only available for Linux platforms.
It does not mention support for other operating systems.
Also, Concessio does not provide features for editing or applying permissions directly to files.
There is no stated integration with file managers or command line interfaces.
The app focuses just on reading and converting permission information safely.
Overall, Concessio is a helpful utility for Linux users who want to better understand or convert UNIX file permissions without making changes to their system.
