lchown(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
ERRORS
If any of these conditions occur, the lchown() function sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EACCES] Search permission is denied on a component of the path parameter.
[EFAULT] The path parameter is an invalid address.
[EFSBAD] The fileset catalog for one of the filesets involved in the operation is corrupt.
[EINVAL] The owner or group parameter is out of range.
An attempt was made to change ownership of a Guardian file that is not a disk
file.
[EIO] An input or output error occurred. The device holding the file might be in the
down state, or both processors that provide access to the device might have
failed.
[ELOOP] Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the path parameter.
[ENAMETOOLONG]
One of these names is too long:
• The pathname pointed to by the path parameter
• A component of the pathname pointed to by the path parameter
• The intermediate result of pathname resolution when a symbolic link is
part of the path parameter
You can call pathconf() function to obtain the applicable limits.
[ENOENT] One of these conditions is true:
• The path parameter does not exist.
• The path parameter is an empty string.
• The path parameter specifies a file in the Guardian file system (in /G) but
cannot be mapped to a valid Guardian filename.
• The path parameter names a symbolic link, but the file to which it refers
does not exist.
• The path parameter specifies a file on a remote node, but communication
with the remote node has been lost.
[ENOROOT] One of these conditions exists:
• The root fileset of the local node (fileset 0) is not in the STARTED state.
• The current root fileset for the specified file is unavailable. The OSS
name server for the fileset might have failed.
• The specified file is on a remote HP NonStop node, and communication
with the remote name server has been lost.
