NAME

chmod − change mode

SYNOPSIS

chmod mode file ...

DESCRIPTION

The mode of each named file is changed according to mode, which may be absolute or symbolic. An absolute mode is an octal number constructed from the OR of the following modes:

4000

set user ID on execution

2000

set group ID on execution

1000

sticky bit, see chmod(2)

0400

read by owner

0200

write by owner

0100

execute (search in directory) by owner

0070

read, write, execute (search) by group

0007

read, write, execute (search) by others

A symbolic mode has the form:

[who] op permission [op permission] ...

The who part is a combination of the letters u (for user’s permissions), g (group) and o (other). The letter a stands for ugo. If who is omitted, the default is a but the setting of the file creation mask (see umask(2)) is taken into account.

Op can be + to add permission to the file’s mode, to take away permission and = to assign permission absolutely (all other bits will be reset).

Permission is any combination of the letters r (read), w (write), x (execute), s (set owner or group id) and t (save text − sticky). Letters u, g or o indicate that permission is to be taken from the current mode. Omitting permission is only useful with = to take away all permissions.

The first example denies write permission to others, the second makes a file executable:

chmod o−w file
chmod +x file

Multiple symbolic modes separated by commas may be given. Operations are performed in the order specified. The letter s is only useful with u or g.

Only the owner of a file (or the super-user) may change its mode.
