CHFLAGS(1) NetBSD General Commands Manual CHFLAGS(1)

NAME

chflags — change file flags

SYNOPSIS

chflags [

−R [−H | −L | −P] ] [−h] flags file ...

DESCRIPTION

The chflags utility modifies the file flags of the listed files as specified by the flags operand.

The options are as follows:

−H

If the −R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed. (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.)

−L

If the −R option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.

−P

If the −R option is specified, no symbolic links are followed.

−R

Change the file flags for the file hierarchies rooted in the files instead of just the files themselves.

−h

If the file or a file encountered during directory traversal is a symbolic link, the file flags of the link itself is changed.

Flags are a comma separated list of keywords. The following keywords are currently defined:

arch set the archived flag (super-user only)

	opaque	set the opaque flag (owner or super-user only)
	nodump	set the nodump flag (owner or super-user only)
	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)

Putting the letters ‘‘no’’ before an option causes the flag to be turned off. For example:

nouchg

the immutable bit should be cleared

The −H, −L and −P options are ignored unless the −R option is specified. In addition, these options override each other and the command’s actions are determined by the last one specified.

The −o option of ls(1) is used to display the flags.

The chflags utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

The kernel does not allow the flags on block and character devices to be changed except by the super-user.
