-.Os BSD 4
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm chmod ,
-.Nm fchmod
-.Nd change mode of file
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Fd #include <sys/stat.h>
-.Ft int
-.Fn chmod "const char *path" "mode_t mode"
-.Ft int
-.Fn fchmod "int fd" "mode_t mode"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The function
-.Fn chmod
-sets the file permission bits
-of the file
-specified by the pathname
-.Fa path
-to
-.Fa mode .
-.Fn Fchmod
-sets the permission bits of the specified
-file descriptor
-.Fa fd .
-.Fn Chmod
-verifies that the process owner (user) either owns
-the file specified by
-.Fa path
-(or
-.Fa fd ) ,
-or
-is the super-user.
-A mode is created from
-.Em or'd
-permission bit masks
-defined in
-.Aq Pa sys/stat.h :
-.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 _POSIX_SOURCE
-#define S_ISTXT 0001000
-#endif
-.Ed
-.Pp
-The
-.Tn FreeBSD
-VM system totally ignores the sticky bit
-.Pf ( Dv ISVTX
-) for executables. On UFS-based filesystems (FFS, MFS, 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 behaviour 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
-.Fn Chmod
-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
-.Fa Path
-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
-.Fn Fchmod
-will fail if:
-.Bl -tag -width Er
-.It Bq Er EBADF
-The descriptor is not valid.
-.It Bq Er EINVAL
-.Fa Fd
-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.

-.Xr sticky 8
-.Sh STANDARDS
-The
-.Fn chmod
-function call is expected to conform to
-.St -p1003.1-90 ,
-except for the return of EFTYPE and the use of S_ISTXT.
-.Sh HISTORY
-A
-.Fn chmod
-function call appeared in
-.At v7 .
-The
-.Fn fchmod
-function call
-appeared in
-.Bx 4.2 .
