lchflags
— set
file flags
#include
<sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int
lchflags
(const
char *path, u_int
flags);
The file whose name is given by path has its flags changed to flags. See chflags(2) for the values of the flags.
The
lchflags
()
call is like
chflags
()
except when the named file is a symbolic link, in which case
lchflags
() will change the flags of the link itself,
rather than the file it points to.
Instead of being a system call, lchflags
()
is emulated using
setattrlist(2).
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
The lchflags
() call may return the same
errors as setattrlist(2).
