# Generic Script for recursively setting permissions for directories and files
# to defined or default permissions using chmod.
#
# Takes a path to recurse through and options for specifying directory and/or
# file permissions.
# Outputs a list of affected directories and files.
#
# If no options are specified, it recursively resets all directory and file
# permissions to the default for most OSs (dirs: 755, files: 644).

# ITD: Added support for no directory parameter (uses current dir if none specified)
#
