NAME
lchflags —
set file flags
SYNOPSIS
#include
<sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int
lchflags(const
char *path, u_int
flags);
DESCRIPTION
The file whose name is given by path has its flags changed to flags. See chflags(2) for the values of the flags.
The
lchflags()
call is like
chflags()
except when the named file is a symbolic link, in which case
lchflags() will change the flags of the link itself,
rather than the file it points to.
NOTE
Instead of being a system call, lchflags()
is emulated using
setattrlist(2). Not all file systems support
setattrlist(2).
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The lchflags() call may return the same
errors as chflags(2) and
setattrlist(2).
