chmod
Synopsis
chmod(path,mode)
Changes the permissions of file path, as
encoded in integer mode.
mode can be zero or more of
os.R_OK, os.W_OK, and
os.X_OK (with the bitwise-OR operator
| joining them if more than one) to set permission
to read, write, and execute. On Unix-like platforms,
mode can also be a richer bit pattern, as
covered in Section 10.2.2 earlier in
this chapter.
