.SS fchownat()
|

|
The
|
||||||
|
.BR fchownat ()
|
||||||
|
system call operates in exactly the same way as
|
||||||
|
.BR chown (2),
|
||||||
|
except for the differences described here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the pathname given in
|
||||||
|
.I pathname
|
||||||
|
is relative, then it is interpreted relative to the directory
|
||||||
|
referred to by the file descriptor
|
||||||
|
.I dirfd
|
||||||
|
(rather than relative to the current working directory of
|
||||||
|
the calling process, as is done by
|
||||||
|
.BR chown (2)
|
||||||
|
for a relative pathname).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If
|
||||||
|
.I pathname
|
||||||
|
is relative and
|
||||||
|
.I dirfd
|
||||||
|
is the special value
|
||||||
|
.BR AT_FDCWD ,
|
||||||
|
then
|
||||||
|
.I pathname
|
||||||
|
is interpreted relative to the current working
|
||||||
|
directory of the calling process (like
|
||||||
|
.BR chown (2)).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If
|
||||||
|
.I pathname
|
||||||
|
is absolute, then
|
||||||
|
.I dirfd
|
||||||
|
is ignored.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The
|
||||||
|
.I flags
|
||||||
|
argument is a bit mask created by ORing together
|
||||||
|
0 or more of the following values;

|

|
.\" commit 65cfc6722361570bfe255698d9cd4dccaf47570d
|
||||||
|
If
|
||||||
|
.I pathname
|
||||||
|
is an empty string, operate on the file referred to by
|
||||||
|
.IR dirfd
|
||||||
|
(which may have been obtained using the
|
||||||
|
.BR open (2)
|
||||||
|
.B O_PATH
|
||||||
|
flag).
|
||||||
|
In this case,
|
||||||
|
.I dirfd
|
||||||
|
can refer to any type of file, not just a directory.
|
||||||
|
This flag is Linux-specific; define
|
||||||
|
.B _GNU_SOURCE
|
||||||
|
.\" Before glibc 2.16, defining _ATFILE_SOURCE sufficed
|
||||||

to obtain its definition.

.B AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
|

instead operate on the link itself, like

.BR lchown (2).
