+## Perms
+
+Plugin to handle some unix filesystem permissions quickly
+
+### Usage
+
+* `set755` recursively sets all directories located within the current working directory and sub directories to octal 755.
+* `set644` recursively sets all files located within the current working directory and sub directories to octal 644.
+* `fixperms` is a wrapper around `set755` and `set644` applied to a specified directory or the current directory otherwise. It also prompts prior to execution unlike the other two  aliases.

+
+### Aliases
+
+# Set all files' permissions to 644 recursively in a directory
+alias set644='find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644'
+
+# Set all directories' permissions to 755 recursively in a directory
+alias set755='find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755'
+
+### Functions
+
+# fixperms - fix permissions on files and directories, with confirmation
+# Returns 0 on success, nonzero if any errors occurred
+fixperms () {
+  local opts confirm target exit_status chmod_opts use_slow_mode
+  zparseopts -E -D -a opts -help -slow v+=chmod_opts
+  if [[ $# > 1 || -n "${opts[(r)--help]}" ]]; then
+    cat <<EOF
+Usage: fixperms [-v] [--help] [--slow] [target]
+
+  target  is the file or directory to change permissions on. If omitted,
+          the current directory is taken to be the target.
+
+  -v      enables verbose output (may be supplied multiple times)
+
+  --slow  will use a slower but more robust mode, which is effective if
+          directories themselves have permissions that forbid you from
+          traversing them.
