.Fd #include <sys/stat.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|

|
|
.Ft int

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file permission bits of the file named specified by
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
or referenced by the file descriptor
|
|
.Fa fd
|
|
are changed to
|
|
.Fa mode .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn chmod
|
|
function verifies that the process owner (user) either owns
|
|
the file specified by
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
(or
|
|
.Fa fd ) ,
|
|
or
|
|
is the super-user.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn chmod
|
|
function follows symbolic links to operate on the target of the link
|
|
rather than the link itself.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa lchmod
|
|
function is similar to
|
|
.Fn chmod
|
|
but does not follow symbolic links.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A mode is created from
|
|
.Em or'd
|
|
permission bit masks
|
|
defined in
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/stat.h :

|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fx
|
|
VM system totally ignores the sticky bit
|
|
.Pq Dv ISVTX
|
|
for executables.
|
|
On UFS-based filesystems (FFS, LFS) the sticky
|
|
bit may only be set upon directories.
|
|
.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
|
|
If mode ISUID (set UID) is set on a directory,
|
|
and the MNT_SUIDDIR option was used in the mount of the filesystem,
|
|
then the owner of any new files and sub-directories
|
|
created within this directory are set
|
|
to be the same as the owner of that directory.
|
|
If this function is enabled, new directories will inherit
|
|
the bit from their parents. Execute bits are removed from
|
|
the file, and it will not be given to root.
|
|
This behavior does not change the
|
|
requirements for the user to be allowed to write the file, but only the eventual
|
|
owner after it has been created.
|
|
Group inheritance is not effected.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This feature is designed for use on fileservers serving PC users via
|
|
ftp, SAMBA, or netatalk.
|
|
It provides security holes for shell users and as
|
|
such should not be used on shell machines, especially on home directories.
|
|
This option requires the SUIDDIR
|
|
option in the kernel to work.
|
|
Only UFS filesystems support this option.
|
|
For more details of the suiddir mount option, see
|
|
.Xr mount 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
