Translate between chmod octal and symbolic permissions

Edit the octal field (such as 644), type a symbolic string (such as rw-r--r--), or toggle the owner/group/other checkboxes — all three stay in sync. Each octal digit is the sum of read (4), write (2), and execute (1) for that class.

This covers the nine standard permission bits only. Special bits — setuid, setgid, and the sticky bit (the leading fourth octal digit) — are not included.
