lchmod
— change
mode of file
#include
<sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int
lchmod
(const
char *path, mode_t
flags);
The function
lchmod
()
sets the file permission bits of the file specified by the pathname
path to mode. See
chmod(2) for the values of the
flags.
The
lchmod
()
call is like
chmod
()
except when the named file is a symbolic link, in which case
lchmod
() will change the flags of the link itself,
rather than the file it points to.
Instead of being a system call, lchmod
()
is emulated using setattrlist(2).
Not all file systems support
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 lchmod
() call may return the same
errors as chmod(2) and
setattrlist(2).
