<p><a name="index-CHMOD-519"></a><a name="index-file-system_002c-change-access-mode-520"></a>
<dl>
<dt><em>Description</em>:<dd><code>CHMOD</code> changes the permissions of a file.
<p>This intrinsic is provided in both subroutine and function forms; however,
only one form can be used in any given program unit.
<br><dt><em>Standard</em>:<dd>GNU extension
<br><dt><em>Class</em>:<dd>Subroutine, function
<br><dt><em>Syntax</em>:<dd>
<p><table summary=""><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="80%"><code>CALL CHMOD(NAME, MODE[, STATUS])</code>
<br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="80%"><code>STATUS = CHMOD(NAME, MODE)</code>
<br></td></tr></table>
<br><dt><em>Arguments</em>:<dd>
<p><table summary="">
<tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><var>NAME</var> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">Scalar <code>CHARACTER</code> of default kind with the
file name. Trailing blanks are ignored unless the character
<code>achar(0)</code> is present, then all characters up to and excluding
<code>achar(0)</code> are used as the file name.
<p><br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><var>MODE</var> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">Scalar <code>CHARACTER</code> of default kind giving the
file permission. <var>MODE</var> uses the same syntax as the <code>chmod</code> utility
as defined by the POSIX standard. The argument shall either be a string of
a nonnegative octal number or a symbolic mode.
<p><br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><var>STATUS</var> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">(optional) scalar <code>INTEGER</code>, which is
<code>0</code> on success and nonzero otherwise.
<br></td></tr></table>
<br><dt><em>Return value</em>:<dd>In either syntax, <var>STATUS</var> is set to <code>0</code> on success and nonzero
otherwise.
<br><dt><em>Example</em>:<dd><code>CHMOD</code> as subroutine
<pre class="smallexample"> program chmod_test
implicit none
integer :: status
call chmod('test.dat','u+x',status)
print *, 'Status: ', status
end program chmod_test
</pre>
<p><code>CHMOD</code> as function:
<pre class="smallexample"> program chmod_test
implicit none
integer :: status
status = chmod('test.dat','u+x')
print *, 'Status: ', status
end program chmod_test
</pre>
</dl>
