ChMod Intrinsic (function)
..........................

     ChMod(NAME, MODE)

ChMod: `INTEGER(KIND=1)' function.

NAME: `CHARACTER'; scalar; INTENT(IN).

MODE: `CHARACTER'; scalar; INTENT(IN).

Intrinsic groups: `badu77'.

Description:

   Changes the access mode of file NAME according to the specification
MODE, which is given in the format of `chmod(1)'.  A null character
(`CHAR(0)') marks the end of the name in NAME--otherwise, trailing
blanks in NAME are ignored.  Currently, NAME must not contain the
single quote character.

   Returns 0 on success or a non-zero error code otherwise.

   Note that this currently works by actually invoking `/bin/chmod' (or
the `chmod' found when the library was configured) and so might fail in
some circumstances and will, anyway, be slow.

   Due to the side effects performed by this intrinsic, the function
form is not recommended.
