chmod - Change file modes
Synopsis
Description

Operands
chmod [ -R [-H | -L | -P] ] mode file ...
The chmod utility modifies the file mode bits of the listed files as specified by the
mode operand.
To change the mode of a file, you must have one of the following authorities:
v The current user profile has *ALLOBJ special authority.
v The current user profile is the owner of the file.
Symbolic links do not have modes, so unless the -H or -L option is set, chmod on
a symbolic link always succeeds and has no effect. The -H, -L and -P options are
ignored unless the -R option is specified. In addition, these options override each
other and the command’s actions are determined by the last one specified.
-H If the -R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are
followed. (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.)
-L If the -R option is specified, all symbolic links are followed.
-P If the -R option is specified, no symbolic links are followed.
-R Change the modes of the file hierarchies rooted in the specified files
instead of just the files themselves.
Modes may be absolute or symbolic. An absolute mode is an octal number
constructed by or-ing the following values:
0400 read by owner
0200 write by owner
0100 execute/search by owner
0040 read by group
0020 write by group
