+ | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
+ | $__chmod__(%%<file>%% <mode>) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Technical:====== | ||
+ | The %%<file>%% argument is a [[what is a word|dword]] which is different from | ||
+ | most functions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This function provides an interface to the Unix system call chmod(2). It | ||
+ | applies the given mode to the file specified. Refer to your Unix system | ||
+ | manual for more information (usually "man 2 chmod"). The mode must be in | ||
+ | numeric format. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Practical:====== | ||
+ | This function is used to change the access permissions on a given file. | ||
+ | A discussion of Unix file permissions is beyond the scope of this | ||
+ | document; refer to your system's manual page for chmod(1) or chmod(2). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Returns:====== | ||
+ | <file> | ||
+ | -1 error | ||
+ | 0 permissions changed successfully | ||
+ | </file> | ||
