Method: File::Stat#world_writable?

#world_writable? ⇒ Integer?

If stat is writable by others, returns an integer representing the file permission bits of stat. Returns nil otherwise. The meaning of the bits is platform dependent; on Unix systems, see stat(2).

m = File.stat("/tmp").world_writable?	    #=> 511
sprintf("%o", m)				    #=> "777"
