| | chmod man document |
 | | chmod changes the permission of each file according to mode, which can be either a symbolic representation of changes to make, or an octal number representing the bit pattern for the new permissions. |
 | | The second digit selects permissions for the user who owns the file: read (4), write (2), and execute (1); the third selects permissionsfor other users in the file's group, with the same values; and the fourth for other users not in the file's group, with the same values. |
 | | When the -c or -v options are specified, change notifications are written to standard output using the format, mode of %s changed to %0.4o (%s), with arguments of the pathname, the numeric mode, and the resulting permission bits as would be displayed by the ls command. |
