LCHMOD(3) BSD Library Functions Manual LCHMOD(3)

NAME
     llcchhmmoodd - change mode of file

SYNOPSIS
     ##iinncclluuddee <>
     ##iinncclluuddee <>

     int
     llcchhmmoodd(const char *path, modet flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The function llcchhmmoodd() 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 llcchhmmoodd() call is like cchhmmoodd() except when the named file is a sym-
     bolic link, in which case llcchhmmoodd() will change the flags of the link
     itself, rather than the file it points to.

NNOOTTEE
     Instead of being a system call, llcchhmmoodd() 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 llcchhmmoodd() call may return the same errors as chmod(2) and
     setattrlist(2).
