CALL ChMod(Name, Mode, Status)
Name: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(IN).
Mode: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(IN).
Status: INTEGER(KIND=1); OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT).
Intrinsic groups: unix.
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.
If the Status argument is supplied, it contains 0 on success or a nonzero error code upon return.
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.
Some non-GNU implementations of Fortran provide this intrinsic as only a function, not as a subroutine, or do not support the (optional) Status argument.
