chmod
Description:
[ Version ( since = "2.8" ) ]
[ CCode ( cname = "g_chmod" ) ]
public int chmod (string filename, int mode)
[ CCode ( cname = "g_chmod" ) ]
public int chmod (string filename, int mode)
A wrapper for the POSIX chmod function.
The chmod function is used to set the permissions of a file system object.
On Windows the file protection mechanism is not at all POSIX-like, and the underlying chmod function in the C library just sets or clears the FAT-style READONLY attribute. It does not touch any ACL. Software that needs to manage file permissions on Windows exactly should use the Win32 API.
See your C library manual for more details about chmod.
Parameters:
| filename |
a pathname in the GLib file name encoding (UTF-8 on Windows) |
| mode |
as in chmod |
Returns:
|
0 if the operation succeeded, -1 on error |
