+.SS fchmodat()
+The
+.BR fchmodat ()
+system call operates in exactly the same way as
+.BR chmod (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 chmod (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 chmod (2)).
+
+If
+.I pathname
+is absolute, then
+.I dirfd
+is ignored.
+
+.I flags
+can either be 0, or include the following flag:
+.TP
+.B AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
+If
+.I pathname
+is a symbolic link, do not dereference it:
+instead operate on the link itself.
+This flag is not currently implemented.

 4.4BSD, SVr4, POSIX.1-2001.

+.SH NOTES
+See

+.BR fchmodat ().

+The GNU C library wrapper function implements the POSIX-specified
+interface described in this page.
+This interface differs from the underlying Linux system call, which does
