+.Dd $Mdocdate: August 4 2022 $ +.Dt CHFLAGS 2 +.Os +.Sh NAME +.Nm chflags , +.Nm chflagsat , +.Nm fchflags +.Nd set file flags +.Sh SYNOPSIS +.In sys/stat.h +.Ft int +.Fn chflags "const char *path" "unsigned int flags" +.Ft int +.Fn fchflags "int fd" "unsigned int flags" +.In sys/stat.h +.In fcntl.h +.Ft int +.Fn chflagsat "int fd" "const char *path" "unsigned int flags" "int atflags" +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The file whose name is given by +.Fa path +or referenced by the descriptor +.Fa fd +has its flags changed to +.Fa flags . +.Pp +The flags are the bitwise OR of zero or more of the following values: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width "SF_IMMUTABLE" -compact -offset indent +.It Dv UF_NODUMP +Do not dump the file. +.It Dv UF_IMMUTABLE +The file may not be changed. +.It Dv UF_APPEND +The file may only be appended to. +.It Dv SF_ARCHIVED +The file may be archived. +.It Dv SF_IMMUTABLE +The file may not be changed. +.It Dv SF_APPEND +The file may only be appended to. +.El +.Pp +The +.Dv UF_IMMUTABLE +and +.Dv UF_APPEND +flags may be set or unset by either the owner of a file or the superuser. +.Pp +The +.Dv SF_ARCHIVED , +.Dv SF_IMMUTABLE +and +.Dv SF_APPEND +flags may only be set or unset by the superuser. +They may be set at any time, but normally may only be unset when +the system is in single-user mode. +(See +.Xr init 8 +for details.) +.Pp +The +.Fn chflagsat +function is equivalent to +.Fn chflags +except in the case where +.Fa path +specifies a relative path. +In this case the file to be changed is determined relative to the directory +associated with the file descriptor +.Fa fd +instead of the current working directory. +.Pp +If +.Fn chflagsat +is passed the special value +.Dv AT_FDCWD +(defined in +.In fcntl.h ) +in the +.Fa fd +parameter, the current working directory is used. +If +.Fa atflags +is also zero, the behavior is identical to a call to +.Fn chflags . +.Pp +The +.Fa atflags +argument is the bitwise OR of zero or more of the following values: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW -offset indent -compact +.It Dv AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW +If +.Fa path +names a symbolic link, then the flags of the symbolic link are changed. +.El +.Pp +The +.Fn fchflags +function is equivalent to +.Fn chflags +except that the file whose flags are changed is specified +by the file descriptor +.Fa fd . +.Sh RETURN VALUES +.Rv -std +.Sh ERRORS +.Fn
