.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file whose name
|
|
is given by
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
or referenced by the descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
has its flags changed to
|
|
.Fa flags .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn lchflags
|
|
system call is like
|
|
.Fn chflags
|
|
except in the case where the named file is a symbolic link,
|
|
in which case
|
|
.Fn lchflags
|
|
will change the flags of the link itself,
|
|
rather than the file it points to.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The flags specified are formed by
|
|
.Em or Ns 'ing
|
|
the following values
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "SF_IMMUTABLE" -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It UF_NODUMP
|
|
Do not dump the file.
|
|
.It UF_IMMUTABLE
|
|
The file may not be changed.
|
|
.It UF_APPEND
|
|
The file may only be appended to.
|
|
.It UF_NOUNLINK
|
|
The file may not be renamed or deleted.
|
|
.It UF_OPAQUE
|
|
The directory is opaque when viewed through a union stack.
|
|
.It SF_ARCHIVED
|
|
The file may be archived.
|
|
.It SF_IMMUTABLE
|
|
The file may not be changed.
|
|
.It SF_APPEND
|
|
The file may only be appended to.
|
|
.It SF_NOUNLINK
|
|
The file may not be renamed or deleted.

The
|
|
.Dq UF_IMMUTABLE ,
|
|
.Dq UF_APPEND ,
|
|
.Dq UF_NOUNLINK ,
|
|
.Dq UF_NODUMP ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq UF_OPAQUE
|
|

|
|
The
|
|
.Dq SF_IMMUTABLE ,
|
|
.Dq SF_APPEND ,
|
|
.Dq SF_NOUNLINK ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq SF_ARCHIVED
|
|
flags may only be set or unset by the super-user.
|
|
Attempts by the non-super-user to set the super-user only flags
|
|
are silently ignored.
|
|
These flags may be set at any time, but normally may only be unset when
|
|
the system is in single-user mode.

.Xr init 8
