LCHFLAGS(3) BSD Library Functions Manual LCHFLAGS(3)

NAME
     llcchhffllaaggss - set file flags

SYNOPSIS
     ##iinncclluuddee <>
     ##iinncclluuddee <>

     int
     llcchhffllaaggss(const char *path, uint flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The file whose name is given by path has its flags changed to flags.  See
     chflags(2) for the values of the flags.

     The llcchhffllaaggss() call is like cchhffllaaggss() except when the named file is a
     symbolic link, in which case llcchhffllaaggss() will change the flags of the link
     itself, rather than the file it points to.

NNOOTTEE
     Instead of being a system call, llcchhffllaaggss() is emulated using
     setattrlist(2).  Not all file systems support setattrlist(2).

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

EERRRROORRSS
     The llcchhffllaaggss() call may return the same errors as chflags(2) and
     setattrlist(2).
