💖 FCHMODAT 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the fchmodat page from the POSIX Programmer's Manual (that's the 3POSIX manual, if you were wondering where the vibes come from) 🫶

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

bestie, real talk first. this page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual, and it says — very politely — that:

• the Linux implementation of this interface may differ, so go check the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behaviour, no cap
• or, plot twist, the interface may not even be implemented on Linux at all 💀

so like. read the room. read the Linux page. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

fchmodat — change mode of a file relative to directory file descriptor

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <sys/stat.h>

int fchmodat(int fd, const char *path, mode_t mode, int flag);

look at her. four arguments. icon behaviour. 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so the entire description is literally:

Refer to chmod().

that's it. that's the description. the manpage said "go read chmod()" and honestly? respect. main character energy of delegation. so bestie, when you wanna know what fchmodat actually does, you go read chmod(), fr fr 🧚
