Chmod File NIO Example
This example compiles a list of one or more symbolic mode expressions
that can change a set of file permissions in a manner similar to the UNIX
chmod command.
The symbolic-mode-list parameter is a
comma-separated list of expressions where each expression has the following form:
who operator [permissions]who: One or more of the following characters:u,g,o, ora, meaning owner (user), group, others, or all (owner, group, and others), respectively.operator: The character+,-, or=, signifying how to change the permissions:+: Permissions are added-: Permissions are removed=: Permissions are assigned absolutely
permissions: A sequence of zero or more of the following:r: Read permissionw: Write permissionx: Execute permission
If
permissionsis omitted when permissions are assigned absolutely (with the=operator), then the permissions are cleared for the owner, group or others as identified bywho. Whenpermissionsis omitted, then the operators+and-are ignored.
The following are examples of the
symbolic-mode-list parameter:
u=rw: Sets the owner permissions to read and write.ug+w: Sets the owner write and group write permissions.u+w,o-rwx: Sets the owner write permission and removes the others read, others write, and others execute permissions.o=: Sets the others permission to none (others read, others write, and others executed permissions are removed if set).
