+.Sh NAME
+.Nm chmod ,
+.Nm fchmod ,
+.Nm lchmod
+.Nd change mode of file
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/stat.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn chmod "const char *path" "mode_t mode"
+.Ft int
+.Fn fchmod "int fd" "mode_t mode"
+.Ft int
+.Fn lchmod "const char *path" "mode_t mode"
+.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
+system call 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
+system call follows symbolic links to operate on the target of the link
+rather than the link itself.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn lchmod
+system call 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
+.In sys/stat.h :
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
+#define S_IRWXU 0000700    /* RWX mask for owner */
+#define S_IRUSR 0000400    /* R for owner */
+#define S_IWUSR 0000200    /* W for owner */
+#define S_IXUSR 0000100    /* X for owner */
+
+#define S_IRWXG 0000070    /* RWX mask for group */
+#define S_IRGRP 0000040    /* R for group */
+#define S_IWGRP 0000020    /* W for group */
+#define S_IXGRP 0000010    /* X for group */
+
+#define S_IRWXO 0000007    /* RWX mask for other */
+#define S_IROTH 0000004    /* R for other */
+#define S_IWOTH 0000002    /* W for other */
+#define S_IXOTH 0000001    /* X for other */
+
+#define S_ISUID 0004000    /* set user id on execution */
+#define S_ISGID 0002000    /* set group id on execution */
+#ifndef __BSD_VISIBLE
+#define S_ISTXT 0001000    /* sticky bit */
+#endif
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Fx
+VM system totally ignores the sticky bit
+.Pq Dv ISTXT
+for executables.
+On UFS-based file systems (FFS, LFS) the sticky
+bit may only be set upon directories.
+.Pp
+If mode
+.Dv ISTXT
+(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 file system,
+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 affected.
+.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 file systems 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
+.Rv -std
+.Sh ERRORS
+The
+.Fn chmod
+system call
+will fail and the file mode will be unchanged if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
+A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
+.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG
+A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters,
+or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters.
+.It Bq Er ENOENT
+The named file does not exist.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
+.It Bq Er ELOOP
+Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
+.It Bq Er EPERM
+The effective user ID does not match the owner of the file and
+the effective user ID is not the super-user.
+.It Bq Er EROFS
+The named file resides on a read-only file system.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+The
+.Fa path
+argument
+points outside the process's allocated address space.
+.It Bq Er EIO
+An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
+.It Bq Er EFTYPE
+An attempt was made to set the sticky bit upon an executable.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fchmod
+system call will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+The descriptor is not valid.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fa fd
+argument
+refers to a socket, not to a file.
+.It Bq Er EROFS
+The file resides on a read-only file system.
+.It Bq Er EIO
+An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
