# 1.1.0[−][src]Function std::fs::set_permissions

    pub fn set_permissions<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P, perm: Permissions) -> Result<()>

Changes the permissions found on a file or a directory.

# Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the `chmod` function on Unix and the `SetFileAttributes` function on Windows. Note that, this may change in the future.

# Errors

This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:

- `path` does not exist.
- The user lacks the permission to change attributes of the file.

# Examples

    use std::fs;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        let mut perms = fs::metadata("foo.txt")?.permissions();
        perms.set_readonly(true);
        fs::set_permissions("foo.txt", perms)?;
        Ok(())
    }
