LCHFLAGS(3) BSD Library Functions Manual LCHFLAGS(3) 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).
