perm

perm (from Latin permissio — permission) changes file mode bits. It is the core Vesper Linux replacement for GNU chmod.

Usage

perm MODE FILE...

Flags

This utility does not take flags. The permission mode must be specified as an octal number (e.g., 755, 644).

Examples

Make a script executable:

perm 755 script.sh

Set read and write permissions for the owner only:

perm 600 id_ed25519

Apply permissions to multiple files at once:

perm 644 file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
