fchmod(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
Use From the Guardian Environment
The fchmod( ) function is one of a set of functions that have these effects when the first of them
is called from the Guardian environment:
• Two Guardian file system file numbers (not necessarily the next two available) are allo-
cated for the root directory and the current working directory. These file numbers cannot
be closed by calling the Guardian FILE_CLOSE_ procedure.
• The current working directory is assigned from the VOLUME attribute of the Guardian
environment =_DEFAULTS DEFINE.
• The use of static memory by the process increases slightly.
These effects occur only when the first of the set of functions is called. The effects are not cumu-
lative.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the fchmod() function returns the value 0 (zero). Otherwise, the
value -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
If any of these conditions occur, the fchmod() function sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EBADF] The file descriptor filedes is not valid.
[EFSBAD] The fileset catalog for one of the filesets involved in the operation is corrupt.
[EINTR] A signal was caught during execution of the system call.
[EINVAL] One of these conditions exists:
• The value of the mode parameter is invalid.
• An attempt was made to set access permissions on a Guardian file (that
is, a file in the /G file system).
[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.
[ENOENT] The program attempted an operation on a file that is open but that has been
unlinked (and the attributes of the file are no longer alterable).
[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.
[EOSSNOTRUNNING]
The program attempted an operation on an object in the OSS environment while
a required system process was not running.
