GFCHMOD(1)

gfchmod πŸ’…βœ¨

okay bestie, welcome to the Gfarm corner of the manual pages πŸ¦‹ this one's called gfchmod and it's literally here to change Gfarm file permissions. yes, that kind of chmod. the glow-up edition. πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gfchmod [options] mode [path...]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. mode plus whatever paths you're feeling, and the options are just the sprinkles on top πŸ“


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

gfchmod changes a permission of Gfarm files. fr fr. you give it a mode, you point it at some paths, and the permissions get updated. no cap. πŸ’–


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

  • -h β€” affects symbolic links instead of referenced files/directories. so like, when you'd normally be messing with the thing the link points to, this instead goes straight for the link itself. main character energy for the symlink πŸŽ€
  • -R β€” changes permission recursively. yes queen, go all the way down the directory tree, every file and every subdirectory, the whole family gets the update πŸ”₯
  • -? β€” displays a list of command options. the little "what were my choices again" button, iconic πŸ™ˆ

heads up bestie: -R goes recursive, which means it doesn't just touch the one file you named, it touches everything underneath. make sure that's what you meant before you hit enter 😭

that's the whole page! short and sweet, just like a good group chat message πŸ’œ
