File.addmod?

I'm familiar with
File.chmod 0777 filename

however, anybody know the equivalent to "chmod u+r filename" from the
command line--but in ruby?
Thanks!

File.class_eval do
   def self.addmod(flags, filename)
     themode=stat(filename).mode | flags
     chmod(themode, filename)
   end
end

Although there's no error checking and the return value could probably be something better (like themode).

So after defining that, your 'u+r' would be:
   File.addmod(0200, 'filename')

I filed a feature request for symbolic mode ('u+r') support
in FileUtils::chmod() and FileUtils::chmod_R() methods here:

Cheers.
