SETCLASS(8)

SETCLASS(8) 💖

bestie, this is the setclass page from the System Manager's Manual — and yes, the manual name is right there because we're being thorough. It's a content protection utility, okay? Let's go. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

setclass — content protection utility. That's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

setclass file [A-E]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so the setclass utility sets and gets the content protection class of a given file. Lowkey dual-purpose, highkey iconic. 🦋

If a class from A to E is specified, setclass will attempt to set file to that class. If no class is given, setclass will report the current protection class of file. Slay, it reads the room. 💖

⚠️ heads up bestie: the ability to change the content protection class of a file is restricted by the runtime status of the device in question. If the device is locked with a PIN code, then you may not be able to modify the protection class, even as root. No cap, that's the caveat. 😭

xoxo, from Mac OS X — dated June 20, 2012 — and this is SETCLASS(8) signing off 🫶💅
