Get directory permissions in unix like form

Hi! I've searched a lot for a solution to this but can find something. I want to see all the permissions that the user who is running an application has on certain directory. Some time ago I saw a simple application that gives that in a unix like form:

-dr-w-x owner file .....

I want something like that. I know that I can use canRead or canWrite, but there are a lot more permissiones involved, as for example the execute permissions, and... you may find a file (exists) , but that doesn't mean you can access it.

Hope someone out there knows how to do what I want, this is for solaris and/or windows XP (I know some windowses doesn't support the "owner" scheme)

Thanks a lot!
