 - change mode of file

LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/stat.h>
int chmod (const char *path mode_t mode);
int fchmod (int fd mode_t mode);
int lchmod (const char *path mode_t mode);

DESCRIPTION

The file permission bits of the file named specified by Fa path or referenced by the file descriptor Fa fd are changed to Fa mode . The chmod ();
system call verifies that the process owner (user) either owns the file specified by Fa path (or Fa fd ) , or is the super-user. The chmod ();
system call follows symbolic links to operate on the target of the link rather than the link itself.

The lchmod ();
system call is similar to chmod ();
but does not follow symbolic links.

A mode is created from or'd permission bit masks defined in In sys/stat.h :

#define S_IRWXU 0000700    /* RWX mask for owner */
#define S_IRUSR 0000400    /* R for owner */
#define S_IWUSR 0000200    /* W for owner */
#define S_IXUSR 0000100    /* X for owner */

#define S_IRWXG 0000070    /* RWX mask for group */
#define S_IRGRP 0000040    /* R for group */
#define S_IWGRP 0000020    /* W for group */
#define S_IXGRP 0000010    /* X for group */

#define S_IRWXO 0000007    /* RWX mask for other */
#define S_IROTH 0000004    /* R for other */
#define S_IWOTH 0000002    /* W for other */
#define S_IXOTH 0000001    /* X for other */

#define S_ISUID 0004000    /* set user id on execution */
#define S_ISGID 0002000    /* set group id on execution */
#ifndef __BSD_VISIBLE
#define S_ISTXT 0001000    /* sticky bit */
#endif

The Fx VM system totally ignores the sticky bit (ISTXT ) for executables. On UFS-based file systems (FFS, LFS) the sticky bit may only be set upon directories.

If mode ISTXT (the `sticky bit') is set on a directory, an unprivileged user may not delete or rename files of other users in that directory. The sticky bit may be set by any user on a directory which the user owns or has appropriate permissions. For more details of the properties of the sticky bit, see sticky(8).

If mode ISUID (set UID) is set on a directory, and the MNT_SUIDDIR option was used in the mount of the file system, then the owner of any new files and sub-directories created within this directory are set to be the same as the owner of that directory. If this function is enabled, new directories will inherit the bit from their parents. Execute bits are removed from the file, and it will not be given to root. This behavior does not change the requirements for the user to be allowed to write the file, but only the eventual owner after it has been created. Group inheritance is not affected.

This feature is designed for use on fileservers serving PC users via ftp, SAMBA, or netatalk. It provides security holes for shell users and as such should not be used on shell machines, especially on home directories. This option requires the SUIDDIR option in the kernel to work. Only UFS file systems support this option. For more details of the suiddir mount option, see mount(8).

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 VALUES

Rv -std

ERRORS

The chmod ();
system call will fail and the file mode will be unchanged if:

Bq Er ENOTDIR: A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG: A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
Bq Er ENOENT: The named file does not exist.
Bq Er EACCES: Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
Bq Er ELOOP: Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
Bq Er EPERM: The effective user ID does not match the owner of the file and the effective user ID is not the super-user.
Bq Er EPERM: The effective user ID is not the super-user, the effective user ID do match the owner of the file, but the group ID of the file does not match the effective group ID nor one of the supplementary group IDs.
Bq Er EPERM: The named file has its immutable or append-only flag set, see the chflags(2) manual page for more information.
Bq Er EROFS: The named file resides on a read-only file system.
Bq Er EFAULT: The Fa path argument points outside the process's allocated address space.
Bq Er EIO: An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
Bq Er EFTYPE: The effective user ID is not the super-user, the mode includes the sticky bit ( S_ISVTX ) and path does not refer to a directory.

The fchmod ();
system call will fail if:

Bq Er EBADF: The descriptor is not valid.
Bq Er EINVAL: The Fa fd argument refers to a socket, not to a file.
Bq Er EROFS: The file resides on a read-only file system.
Bq Er EIO: An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
