NAME
gfs_chmod - change permissions of a file
SYNOPSIS
#include <gfarm/gfarm.h>
char *gfs_chmod (char * gfarm_url, mode_t mode);
DESCRIPTION
gfs_chmod() changes the mode of the file given by gfarm_url. Permission bit masks of mode are similar to
ones of mode parameter to chmod(2), though only the least 9 bit are effective.
An executable file cannot be changed to a non-executable file and vice versa, unless the number of
fragment of the file is only one. In detail, a file has multiple fragments with any execution bit should
not be changed to that with no execution bit. It is necessary to have at least one execution bit.
Similarly, a file has multiple fragments with no execution bit should not be changed to that with any
execution bit.
