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).
