Document the way data is encoded within FileInfo

[lpil]

Hello! How do I do this?

I think it might be using the mode int, but how data is encoded into that int is not documented.

File mode that indicates the file type and its permissions. For example, in Unix and Linux, a mode value of 33188 indicates a regular file and the permissions associated with it (read and write for the owner, and read-only for others, in this case).

Thanks,
Louis

Hello!
There's a helper function called file_info_type!

[lpil]

That's great! Thank you.

I still think it would be useful to document what this field means, I don't know how to use it presently.

I agree. I'm gonna add the relevant documentation, in the meantime just for you check out https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inode.7.html (scroll down to "The file type and mode")

Completely let this slip. For the moment I've just linked to that man page in the docs. I need to time block check ins with my existing repos.
