+
+Reset file permissions via file introspection.
+
+When migrating between Cygwin and Linux proper, or when FAT/NTFS filesystems are in use, permissions may be lost. This script makes a best effort to reset file permissions to something "normal" by performing deep file introspection to determine whether a file is executable.
+
+Tags: sysadmin
+
+## Usage
+
+
+```
+About:
+   chmod-reset can reset file and directory permissions to something "normal".
+   That's 755 for directories and executables, and 644 for other files.
+
+Usage:
+   chmod-reset [OPTIONS] [--] DIRECTORY [ DIRECTORY ... ]
+
+Options:
+   -f, --exec-check-fast   Mark files executable based on extension
+   -s, --exec-check-slow   Mark files executable based on content (default)
+   --help                  Display this message and exit
+```
