NAME¶

change-mode - (directories files)

PURPOSE¶

Change permission mode for a file or directory.

SYNTAX¶

change-mode <file-or-directory> mode <mode> [ status <status> ]

DESCRIPTION¶

change-mode will change permission mode for <file-or-directory> to <mode> as specified in "mode" clause. <mode> is a number, typically specified as octal (such as for instance 0750), see permissions. <file-or-directory> is a string that may be an absolute or relative path.

If "status" clause is used, then number <status> is GG_OKAY if succeeded, GG_ERR_EXIST if file or directory does not exist, or GG_ERR_FAILED for other errors (in which case you can use "errno" clause in get-req to find the specific reason why).

EXAMPLES¶

To give read and write privilege to user's group members ("6" means that as a second digit):

change-mode "myfile" mode 0760
