shtool-fixperm - GNU shtool file permission fixing command

shtoolfixperm fixes file permissions inside a source tree under path by cleaning up the permission bits.
       It determines the cleaned up permission from the already set bits. It is intended to be run before a
       tarball is rolled (usually with shtooltarball) out of a source tree. The trick is that this is more
       convenient than having to set the permissions manually or by using a large file list.

        dist:
            shtool fixperm -v *
            ...

       The  GNUshtoolfixperm command was originally written by Ralf S.  Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in
       1996 for OSSPeperl.  It was later taken over into GNUshtool.
