chmod

CHMOD(2)							System Calls Manual							  CHMOD(2)

NAME

       chmod - change mode of file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/stat.h>

       int chmod(const char *path, mode_t mode)

DESCRIPTION

       The  file  whose name is given by path has its mode changed to mode.  Modes are constructed by or'ing together some combination of the fol-
       lowing, defined in <sys/stat.h>:

	      S_ISUID  04000   set user ID on execution
	      S_ISGID  02000   set group ID on execution
	      S_ISVTX  01000   `sticky bit' (see below)
	      S_IRWXU  00700   read, write, execute by owner
	      S_IRUSR  00400   read by owner
	      S_IWUSR  00200   write by owner
	      S_IXUSR  00100   execute (search on directory) by owner
	      S_IRWXG  00070   read, write, execute by group
	      S_IRGRP  00040   read by group
	      S_IWGRP  00020   write by group
	      S_IXGRP  00010   execute (search on directory) by group
	      S_IRWXO  00007   read, write, execute by others
	      S_IROTH  00004   read by others
	      S_IWOTH  00002   write by others
	      S_IXOTH  00001   execute (search on directory) by others

       If mode ISVTX (the `sticky bit') is set on a directory, an unprivileged user may not delete or rename files of other users in  that  direc-
       tory.  (Minix-vmd)

       Only the owner of a file (or the super-user) may change the mode.

       Writing	or changing the owner of a file turns off the set-user-id and set-group-id bits unless the user is the super-user.  This makes the
       system somewhat more secure by protecting set-user-id (set-group-id) files from remaining set-user-id (set-group-id) if they are  modified,
       at the expense of a degree of compatibility.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       Chmod will fail and the file mode will be unchanged if:

       [ENOTDIR]      A component of the path prefix is not a directory.

       [ENAMETOOLONG] The path name exceeds PATH_MAX characters.

       [ENOENT]       The named file does not exist.

       [EACCES]       Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.

       [ELOOP]	      Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.  (Minix-vmd)

       [EPERM]	      The effective user ID does not match the owner of the file and the effective user ID is not the super-user.

       [EROFS]	      The named file resides on a read-only file system.

       [EFAULT]       Path points outside the process's allocated address space.

       [EIO]	      An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.

SEE ALSO

       chmod(1), open(2), chown(2), stat(2).

NOTES

       The sticky bit was historically used to lock important executables into memory.
