Changes access permissions of the file to which p resolves, as if by POSIX fchmodat
. Symlinks are followed unless perm_options::nofollow
is set in opts.
The second signature behaves as if called with opts set to perm_options::replace.
The effects depend on prms and opts as follows:
opts is required to have only one of replace
, add
, or remove
to be set.
The non-throwing overload has no special action on error.
[edit] Parameters p - path to examine prms - permissions to set, add, or remove opts - options controlling the action taken by this function ec - out-parameter for error reporting in the non-throwing overload [edit] Return value(none)
[edit] ExceptionsAny overload not marked noexcept
may throw std::bad_alloc if memory allocation fails.
Throws
std::filesystem::filesystem_erroron underlying OS API errors, constructed with
pas the first path argument and the OS error code as the error code argument.
2,3)Sets a
std::error_code¶meter to the OS API error code if an OS API call fails, and executes
ec.clear()if no errors occur.
[edit] NotesPermissions may not necessarily be implemented as bits, but they are treated that way conceptually.
Some permission bits may be ignored on some systems, and changing some bits may automatically change others (e.g. on platforms without owner/group/all distinction, setting any of the three write bits set all three).
[edit] Example#include <filesystem> #include <fstream> #include <iostream> void demo_perms(std::filesystem::perms p) { using std::filesystem::perms; auto show = [=](char op, perms perm) { std::cout << (perms::none == (perm & p) ? '-' : op); }; show('r', perms::owner_read); show('w', perms::owner_write); show('x', perms::owner_exec); show('r', perms::group_read); show('w', perms::group_write); show('x', perms::group_exec); show('r', perms::others_read); show('w', perms::others_write); show('x', perms::others_exec); std::cout << '\n'; } int main() { std::ofstream("test.txt"); // create file std::cout << "Created file with permissions: "; demo_perms(std::filesystem::status("test.txt").permissions()); std::filesystem::permissions( "test.txt", std::filesystem::perms::owner_all | std::filesystem::perms::group_all, std::filesystem::perm_options::add ); std::cout << "After adding u+rwx and g+rwx: "; demo_perms(std::filesystem::status("test.txt").permissions()); std::filesystem::remove("test.txt"); }
Possible output:
Created file with permissions: rw-r--r-- After adding u+rwx and g+wrx: rwxrwxr--[edit] See also identifies file system permissions
