NAME
chmod - change file attributes
SYNTAX
chmod [+r -r] [+h -h] [+s -s] [+a -a] file_list
DESCRIPTION
Chmod can modify the file attributes, read-only (r), hidden (h),
system (s), and archive (a). The '+' preceeding the attribute letter
will set that attribute on, the '-' will set the attribute off. The
'-' option has higher precedence than the '+' option. Chmod will print
the file's current attribute to the standard output.
The read-only attribute will protect the file from being written to or
deleted, but the file will be seen in the directory listings. The hidden
and the system attributes hide the file from normal directory listings.
The archive attribute is set whenever the file has been written to and
closed. The hidden and system files will be listed if the -a option is
used with the UTILIX ls command.
