NAME

Lchmod - use the lchmod() system call from Perl

VERSION

This document describes Lchmod version 0.02

SYNOPSIS

    use Lchmod;

    chmod(0600, $symlink) || die "Could not chown “$symlink”: $!\n";

    # $symlink is 0777, its target is 0600

    lchmod(0644, $symlink) || die "Could not lchown “$symlink”: $!\n";

    # $symlink is 0644, its target remains at 0600

DESCRIPTION

Similar to Lchown but for setting a symlink’s mode instead of uid/gid.

lchmod() behaves like chmod() except that when given a symlink it operates on the symlink instead of the target.

INTERFACE

lchmod()

Takes a mode and list of files (just like chmod()).

Returns the count of items that were succesfully modified (just like chmod()).

Returns undef and sets $! to ENOSYS (just like chmod()) when the system does not support lchown.

It is automatically imported and importable (just like Lchown).

LCHMOD_AVAILABLE()

Exportable availabilty–check similar to what Lchown provides.

Takes no arguments, returns true when lchmod() is available, false when it is not.

DIAGNOSTICS

Throws no errors or warnings of its own.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Lchmod requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES
