Fchmod(2)                 Oct. 7, 1991                  Fchmod(2)



NAME
     Fchmod - set file access permissions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <filesys.h>

     LONG Fchmod( char *name, WORD mode );

DESCRIPTION
     Fchmod changes the file  access  permissions  for  the  file
     named  name.   The  new  access permissions are given in the
     word mode, which may be constructed by or'ing  together  the
     following symbolic constants (defined in filesys.h):

     S_IRUSR,
          Read, write, and execute permission (respectively)  for
          the owner of the file.

     S_IRGRP,
          Read, write, and execute permission (respectively)  for
          the file's group.

     S_IROTH,
          Read, write, and execute permission for everybody else.

     Note that not all file systems support all  of  these  bits;
     bits not supported by a file system will be ignored.

     Note also that "execute" permission for  a  directory  means
     permission  to  search the directory for a file name or name
     component.

RETURNS
     0 on success

     EACCDN if the calling process has  an  effective  uid  which
     differs from the owner of the file and which is not 0.

     EFILNF if the file is not found

     EPTHNF if the path to the file is not found.
