Subject: File.stat.mode not same mode as File.stat.inspect ??

 
I am working on a little ruby script to check file stats and I am
getting a weird mask when I query the mode directly. I am also looking
at stat.2 (man 2 stat) and the bits just are not adding up to give me 8.
 
The proper mode is 0100644 but when I print @mode = fileObj.stat.mode I
get 33188
 
print "-----\n", fileObj.stat.inspect, "\n-----\n"

#<File::Stat dev=0x6809, ino=19, mode=0100644, nlink=1, uid=506,
gid=501, rdev=0x0, size=50, blksize=4096, blocks=8, atime=Tue May 23

print fileObj.stat.mode
33188     <---- Value that's confusing me
print fileObj.stat.uid
501
print fileObj.stat.gid
506

 
 
Can anyone clarify what I am doing wrong?
 
 
Thanks
