.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl fhv
|
|
.Op Fl R Op Fl H | L | P
|
|
.Ar mode
|
|
.Ar
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility modifies the file mode bits of the listed files
|
|
as specified by the
|
|
.Ar mode
|
|
operand.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Do not display a diagnostic message if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
could not modify the mode for
|
|
.Va file ,
|
|
nor modify the exit status to reflect such failures.
|
|
.It Fl H
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed
|
|
and hence unaffected by the command.
|
|
(Symbolic links encountered during tree traversal are not followed.)
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
If the file is a symbolic link, change the mode of the link itself
|
|
rather than the file that the link points to.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, no symbolic links are followed.
|
|
This is the default.
|
|
.It Fl R
|
|
Change the modes of the file hierarchies rooted in the files,
|
|
instead of just the files themselves.
|
|
Beware of unintentionally matching the
|
|
.Dq Pa ".."
|
|
hard link to the parent directory when using wildcards like
|
|
.Dq Li ".*" .
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Cause
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to be verbose, showing filenames as the mode is modified.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
flag is specified more than once, the old and new modes of the file
|
|
will also be printed, in both octal and symbolic notation.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl H ,
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
options are ignored unless the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
In addition, these options override each other and the
|
|
command's actions are determined by the last one specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Only the owner of a file or the super-user is permitted to change
|
|
the mode of a file.
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
.Ex -std
|
|
.Sh MODES
|
|
Modes may be absolute or symbolic.
|
|
An absolute mode is an octal number constructed from the sum of
|
|
one or more of the following values:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 6n -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It Li 4000
|
|
(the setuid bit).
|
|
Executable files with this bit set
|
|
will run with effective uid set to the uid of the file owner.
|
|
Directories with this bit set will force all files and
|
|
sub-directories created in them to be owned by the directory owner
|
|
and not by the uid of the creating process, if the underlying file
|
|
system supports this feature: see
|
|
.Xr chmod 2
|
|
and the
|
|
.Cm suiddir
|
|
option to
|
|
.Xr mount 8 .
|
|
.It Li 2000
|
|
(the setgid bit).
|
|
Executable files with this bit set
|
|
will run with effective gid set to the gid of the file owner.
|
|
.It Li 1000
|
|
(the sticky bit).
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr chmod 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr sticky 7 .
|
|
.It Li 0400
|
|
Allow read by owner.
|
|
.It Li 0200
|
|
Allow write by owner.
|
|
.It Li 0100
|
|
For files, allow execution by owner.
|
|
For directories, allow the owner to
|
|
search in the directory.
|
|
.It Li 0040
|
|
Allow read by group members.
|
|
.It Li 0020
|
|
Allow write by group members.
|
|
.It Li 0010
|
|
For files, allow execution by group members.
|
|
For directories, allow
|
|
group members to search in the directory.
|
|
.It Li 0004
|
|
Allow read by others.
|
|
.It Li 0002
|
|
Allow write by others.
|
|
.It Li 0001
|
|
For files, allow execution by others.
|
|
For directories allow others to
|
|
search in the directory.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example, the absolute mode that permits read, write and execute by
|
|
the owner, read and execute by group members, read and execute by
|
|
others, and no set-uid or set-gid behaviour is 755
|
|
(400+200+100+040+010+004+001).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The symbolic mode is described by the following grammar:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
mode ::= clause [, clause ...]
|
|
clause ::= [who ...] [action ...] action
|
|
action ::= op [perm ...]
|
|
who ::= a | u | g | o
|
|
op ::= + | \- | =
|
|
perm ::= r | s | t | w | x | X | u | g | o
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar who
|
|
symbols ``u'', ``g'', and ``o'' specify the user, group, and other parts
|
|
of the mode bits, respectively.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar who
|
|
symbol ``a'' is equivalent to ``ugo''.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar perm
|
|
symbols represent the portions of the mode bits as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It r
|
|
The read bits.
|
|
.It s
|
|
The set-user-ID-on-execution and set-group-ID-on-execution bits.
|
|
.It t
|
|
The sticky bit.
|
|
.It w
|
|
The write bits.
|
|
.It x
|
|
The execute/search bits.
|
|
.It X
|
|
The execute/search bits if the file is a directory or any of the
|
|
execute/search bits are set in the original (unmodified) mode.
|
|
Operations with the
|
|
.Ar perm
|
|
symbol ``X'' are only meaningful in conjunction with the
|
|
.Ar op
|
|
symbol ``+'', and are ignored in all other cases.
|
|
.It u
|
|
The user permission bits in the original mode of the file.
|
|
.It g
|
|
The group permission bits in the original mode of the file.
|
|
.It o
|
|
The other permission bits in the original mode of the file.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar op
|
|
symbols represent the operation performed, as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 4n
|
|
.It +
|
|
If no value is supplied for
|
|
.Ar perm ,
|
|
the ``+'' operation has no effect.
|
|
If no value is supplied for
|
|
.Ar who ,
|
|
each permission bit specified in
|
|
.Ar perm ,
|
|
for which the corresponding bit in the file mode creation mask
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr umask 2 )
|
|
is clear, is set.
|
|
Otherwise, the mode bits represented by the specified
|
|
.Ar who
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar perm
|
|
values are set.
|
|
.It \&\-
|
|
If no value is supplied for
|
|
.Ar perm ,
|
|
the ``\-'' operation has no effect.
|
|
If no value is supplied for
|
|
.Ar who ,
|
|
each permission bit specified in
|
|
.Ar perm ,
|
|
for which the corresponding bit in the file mode creation mask
|
|
is clear, is cleared.
|
|
Otherwise, the mode bits represented by the specified
|
|
.Ar who
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar perm
|
|
values are cleared.
|
|
.It =
|
|
The mode bits specified by the
|
|
.Ar who
|
|
value are cleared, or, if no
|
|
.Ar who
|
|
value is specified, the owner, group
|
|
and other mode bits are cleared.
|
|
Then, if no value is supplied for
|
|
.Ar who ,
|
|
each permission bit specified in
|
|
.Ar perm ,
|
|
for which the corresponding bit in the file mode creation mask
|
|
is clear, is set.
|
|
Otherwise, the mode bits represented by the specified
|
|
.Ar who
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar perm
|
|
values are set.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each
|
|
.Ar clause
|
|
specifies one or more operations to be performed on the mode
|
|
bits, and each operation is applied to the mode bits in the
|
|
order specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Operations upon the other permissions only (specified by the symbol
|
|
``o'' by itself), in combination with the
|
|
.Ar perm
|
|
symbols ``s'' or ``t'', are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The ``w'' permission on directories will permit file creation, relocation,
|
|
and copy into that directory.
|
|
Files created within the directory itself will inherit its group ID.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
