[File_Chmod]
[File_Chmod] allows the Unix file permissions of a file to be modified. Requires the name and path to the file to be modified, and the new permission sequence as parameters.
The permissions can be specified in several different ways:
- Octal permissions can be specified as a four digit string such as '0777' or '0444'. The octal string should be in the same format used for chmod on the command line.
- Symbolic permissions can be specified using four named parameters -a, -u, -g, -o. Permissions for -a are applied to each of -u, -g, and -o. Permissions for -u are assigned to the owner of the file. Permissions for -g are assigned to the group of the file. Permissions for -o are assigned to others. The values for these parameters should be a string containg 'r', 'w' or 'x' for read, write, and execute permissions. The -a parameter also accepts 's' for setuid/setgid permission and 't' for the sticky bit.
- A Decimal or Hexadecimal value (without quotes) can also be used.
For more information on how chmod permission sequences are interpreted please consult the documentation for your operating system. Some of the details are system dependent.
Note: This tag is currently supported on Mac OS X and Linux.
