chmod()

Changes the mode of the specified file. Returns NULL if an error occurs, TRUE if the chmod occurs.

Syntax:

chmod(filename, int);

where

filename is a string that contains the name of the file to change.

int is a four-digit integer that specifies the mode to change to. The first digit is a 0 and the next three digits are the same integers that define the mode in the UNIX chmod command.

Example:

chmod("myfile.txt", 0777);
          // grants read, write, and execute permission
          // to everyone for myfile.txt
