bk chmod(7.3.3)		    BitKeeper User's Manual	       bk chmod(7.3.3)

NAME
       bk chmod	- change the mode of a file and	save it

SYNOPSIS
       bk chmod	[ugoa]+rwxs file [file ...]
       bk chmod	[ugoa]-rwxs file [file ...]
       bk chmod	[ugoa]=rwxs file [file ...]
       bk chmod	octal file [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The chmod command changes the stored file modes (permissions) for files
       in the repository.  File	modes are normally whatever modes were present
       on  the	file was when it was checked in	to BitKeeper.  When changes to
       the file	mode need to be	made, the bk chmod command is used  to	record
       the new modes.

       The syntax is one of

       [ugoa]+rwxs  A  symbolic	way of adding permissions.  ugoa indicates the
		    users to which the permissions apply, a combination	of one
		    or more of the following: u	for user, g for	group,	o  for
		    other,  and	 a for all.  If	none are specified the default
		    is a.  rwxs	indicates the permission to add, a combination
		    of one or more of the following: r for read, w for	write,
		    x for execute, s for setuid	or setgid depending on ugoa.
       [ugoa]-rwxs  A symbolic way of removing permissions.  As	above.
       [ugoa]=rwxs  A  symbolic	 way  of  setting  permissions absolutely.  As
		    above.
       octal	    A 4	digit octal number wherein 04000 means	setuid,	 02000
		    means  setgid,  and	 in the	following three	digits 4 means
		    read permission, 2 means write  permission,	 and  1	 means
		    execute  permission.   The last three digits are for user,
		    group, other permissions respectively.  This form sets the
		    mode absolutely, it	is  not	 relative  to  the  previously
		    recorded mode.

NOTES
       Setuid  and  setgid  are	not recommended	since Windows does not support
       that concept.  Similarly, group/other is	also unsupported on Windows.

       Write permission	is somewhat  pointless	since  BitKeeper  will	remove
       write permission	if the file is checked out unlocked and	add write per-
       mission if the file is checked out with a lock.
