- NAME
- chmod - change file attributes
-
- SYNTAX
- chmod [+r -r] [+h -h] [+s -s] [+a -a] file_list
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Chmod can modify the file attributes, read-only (r), hidden (h),
- system (s), and archive (a). The '+' preceeding the attribute letter
- will set that attribute on, the '-' will set the attribute off. The
- '-' option has higher precedence than the '+' option. Chmod will print
- the file's current attribute to the standard output.
-
- The read-only attribute will protect the file from being written to or
- deleted, but the file will be seen in the directory listings. The hidden
- and the system attributes hide the file from normal directory listings.
- The archive attribute is set whenever the file has been written to and
- closed. The hidden and system files will be listed if the -a option is
- used with the UTILIX ls command.
