std::fs::set_permissions - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `set_permissions` fn in crate `std`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, set_permissions

# 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(())
    }Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
