|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/stat.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn chmod "const char *path" "mode_t mode"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn fchmod "int fd" "mode_t mode"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn chmod
|
|
sets the file permission bits
|
|
of the file
|
|
specified by the pathname
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
to
|
|
.Fa mode .
|
|
.Fn Fchmod
|
|
sets the permission bits of the specified
|
|
file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd .
|
|
.Fn Chmod
|
|
verifies that the process owner (user) either owns
|
|
the file specified by
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
(or
|
|
.Fa fd ) ,
|
|
or
|
|
is the super-user.
|
|
A mode is created from
|
|
.Em or'd
|
|
permission bit masks
|
|
defined in
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/stat.h :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
|
|
#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 */
|
|
#define S_ISVTX 0001000 /* sticky bit */
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn FreeBSD
|
|
VM system totally ignores the sticky bit
|
|
.Pf ( Dv ISVTX
|
|
) for executables.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If mode
|
|
.Dv ISVTX
|
|
(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
|
|
.Xr sticky 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
