gfs_chmod

GFS_CHMOD(3)															      GFS_CHMOD(3)

NAME

       gfs_chmod - change permissions of a file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <gfarm/gfarm.h>

       char *gfs_chmod (char * gfarm_url, mode_t mode);

DESCRIPTION

       gfs_chmod()  changes  the  mode	of  the  file  given  by gfarm_url.  Permission bit masks of mode are similar to ones of mode parameter to
       chmod(2), though only the least 9 bit are effective.

       An executable file cannot be changed to a non-executable file and vice versa, unless the number of fragment of the file is  only  one.	In
       detail,	a file has multiple fragments with any execution bit should not be changed to that with no execution bit.  It is necessary to have
       at least one execution bit.  Similarly, a file has multiple fragments with no execution bit should not be changed to that with  any  execu-
       tion bit.
