Chapter 5: General Objects and Methods

fixPerms()

Description

Programmatically clears an I/O file object’s current create permissions settings and sets new permissions.

This method does not perform error checking. Use fixprop() to modify an I/O file object’s create permissions without clearing the permissions first.

Syntax

fixPerms(int perm);

Parameter	Description
perm	The mnemonic associated with the permissions being set. For any mnemonic not passed in the parameter, the permission is set to off. To set multiple permissions, place a pipe symbol ( \| ) between each mnemonic. See Table 5-2 for a list of mnemonics.

Return value

None.

Usage

Table 5-2 lists available mnemonics for the perm parameter. Each description corresponds to an option on the user interface screens.
