: The "644" is an octal number giving private/public/read/write access;
: I don't know the bit assignments, but suspect your final option of
: recognising "begin <number>" would be the most appropriate, remembering
: that there will/should be a matching "end" after all the gubbins.

They are permissions in the order owner, group, other. They are octal
numbers. They form a bitfied, read is 4, write is 2, execute permission
is 1.

Somewhat dodgy even under Unix, I'd have thought... Surely you wouldn't
want permissions set to odd values without realising it?
