.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
||||||
The
|
|
||||||
.BR fchownat ()
|
|
||||||
system call operates in exactly the same way as
|
|
||||||
.BR chown (2),
|
|
||||||
except for the differences described in this manual page.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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;
|
|
||||||
.TP
|
|
||||||
.BR AT_EMPTY_PATH " (since Linux 2.6.39)"
|
|
||||||
.\" 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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
.TP
|
|
||||||
.B AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
|
|
||||||
If
|
|
||||||
.I pathname
|
|
||||||
is a symbolic link, do not dereference it:
|
|
||||||
instead operate on the link itself, like
|
|
||||||
.BR lchown (2).
|
|
||||||
(By default,
|
|
||||||
.BR fchownat ()
|
|
||||||
dereferences symbolic links, like
|
|
||||||
.BR chown (2).)
|
|
||||||
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
||||||
On success,
|
|
||||||
.BR fchownat ()
|
|
||||||
returns 0.
|
|
||||||
On error, \-1 is returned and
|
|
||||||
.I errno
|
|
||||||
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
||||||
.SH ERRORS
|
|
||||||
The same errors that occur for
|
|
||||||
.BR chown (2)
|
|
||||||
can also occur for
|
|
||||||
.BR fchownat ().
|
|
||||||
The following additional errors can occur for
|
|
||||||
.BR fchownat ():
|
|
||||||
.TP
|
|
||||||
.B EBADF
|
|
||||||
.I dirfd
|
|
||||||
is not a valid file descriptor.
|
|
||||||
.TP
|
|
||||||
.B EINVAL
|
|
||||||
Invalid flag specified in
|
|
||||||
.IR flags .
|
|
||||||
.TP
|
|
||||||
.B ENOTDIR
|
|
||||||
.I pathname
|
|
||||||
is relative and
|
|
||||||
.I dirfd
|
|
||||||
is a file descriptor referring to a file other than a directory.
|
|
||||||
.SH VERSIONS
|
|
||||||
.BR fchownat ()
|
|
||||||
was added to Linux in kernel 2.6.16;
|
|
||||||
library support was added to glibc in version 2.4.
|
|
||||||
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
|
||||||
POSIX.1-2008.
|
|
||||||
A similar system call exists on Solaris.
|
|
||||||
.SH NOTES
|
|
||||||
See
|
|
||||||
.BR openat (2)
|
|
||||||
for an explanation of the need for
|
|
||||||
.BR fchownat ().
