to check permissions on a file for read, write, execute.

Without getting into core module, does it exist anywhere in std 
module?

On POSIX, std.file.getAttributes or attributes on a std.file.DirEntry will
give you st_mode from the stat system call.

http://www.unix.com/man-page/FreeBSD/2/stat/

The flags that st_mode uses are declared in core.sys.posix.sys.stat, and the
rwx permissions for owner, group, and other are all there as described in
the man page.
