SYNOPSIS
chflags [-h] [ -R [-H-| -L -| -P ] ] flags
DESCRIPTION
The chflags utility modifies the file flags of the listed files as specified by the flags operand. The options are as follows: | -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.) | | -h | If the file is a symbolic link, change the mode of the link itself rather than the file to which it points. | | -L | If the -R option is specified, all symbolic links are followed. | | -P | If the -R option is specified, no symbolic links are followed. This is the default. | | -R | Change the file flags for the file hierarchies rooted in the files instead of just the files themselves. | |
The flags are specified as an octal number or a comma separated list of keywords. The following keywords are currently defined: | arch, archived | set the archived flag (super-user only) | | opaque | set the opaque flag (owner or super-user only) | | nodump | set the nodump flag (owner or super-user only) | | sappnd, sappend | set the system append-only flag (super-user only) | | schg, schange, simmutable | set the system immutable flag (super-user only) | | sunlnk, sunlink | set the system undeletable flag (super-user only) | | uappnd, uappend | set the user append-only flag (owner or super-user only) | | uchg, uchange, uimmutable | set the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only) | | uunlnk, uunlink | set the user undeletable flag (owner or super-user only) | |
Putting the letters "no" before or removing the letters "no" from a keyword causes the flag to be cleared. For example: | nouchg | clear the user immutable flag (owner or super-user only) | | dump | clear the nodump flag (owner or super-user only) | |
Unless the -H , -L , or -h options are given, chflags 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. You can use "ls -lo" to see the flags of existing files.
