✨ GOLF(2gg) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the GOLF manual, section 2gg, filed under Development 💖 pull up a chair, we're doing permission bits today and honestly? it's giving main character energy.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

change-mode — (directories files)

---

🌸 PURPOSE 🌸

Change permission mode for a file or directory. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🦋 SYNTAX 🦋

change-mode <file-or-directory> mode <mode> [ status <status> ]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓 — change-mode will change permission mode for <file-or-directory> to <mode> as specified in the mode clause.

<mode> is a number, typically specified as octal (such as for instance 0750), see permissions. iykyk, octal is the moment 👑

<file-or-directory> is a string that may be an absolute or relative path. flexible queen, we love to see it 🌈

If the status clause is used, then number <status> is:

• GG_OKAY — if it succeeded 🎉
• GG_ERR_EXIST — if file or directory does not exist 😭
• GG_ERR_FAILED — for other errors

and if you get that last one? no cap, you can use the errno clause in get-req to find the specific reason why 🔍 (that's your detective era, go off)

---

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

To give read and write privilege to user's group members ("6" means that as a second digit) — not me explaining digit math in the year of our lord, but here we are:

change-mode "myfile" mode 0760

slay. that's it. that's the example. periodt 💅
