.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm chflags
|
|
utility modifies the file flags of the listed files
|
|
as specified by the
|
|
.Ar flags
|
|
operand.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl H
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed.
|
|
(Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.)
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.
|
|
.It Fl P
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified, no symbolic links are followed.
|
|
.It Fl R
|
|
Change the file flags for the file hierarchies rooted
|
|
in the files instead of just the files themselves.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Flags are a comma separated list of keywords.
|
|
The following keywords are currently defined:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent compact
|
|
arch set the archived flag (super-user only)
|
|
dump set the dump flag
|
|
sappnd set the system append-only flag (super-user only)
|
|
schg set the system immutable flag (super-user only)
|
|
uappnd set the user append-only flag (owner or super-user only)
|
|
uchg set the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only)
|
|
archived, sappend, schange, simmutable, uappend, uchange, uimmutable
|
|
aliases for the above
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Putting the letters
|
|
.Dq no
|
|
before an option causes the flag to be turned off.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent compact
|
|
nodump the file should never be dumped
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Symbolic links do not have flags, so unless the
|
|
.Fl H
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
option is set,
|
|
.Nm chflags
|
|
on a symbolic link always succeeds and has no effect.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl H ,
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl P
|
|
options are ignored unless the
|
|
.Fl R
|
|
option is specified.
|
|
In addition, these options override each other and the
|
|
command's actions are determined by the last one specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm chflags
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
