30.10.34.26 Permissions [fs.op.permissions]

void permissions(const path& p, perms prms, perm_options opts=perm_options::replace); void permissions(const path& p, perms prms, error_code& ec) noexcept; void permissions(const path& p, perms prms, perm_options opts, error_code& ec);

1
#

Requires: Exactly one of the perm_­options constants replace, add, or remove is present in opts.

2
#

Remarks: The second signature behaves as if it had an additional parameter perm_­options opts with an argument of perm_­options​::​replace.

3
#

Effects: Applies the action specified by opts to the file p resolves to, or to file p itself if p is a symbolic link and perm_­options​::​nofollow is set in opts. The action is applied as if by POSIX fchmodat().

[ Note: Conceptually permissions are viewed as bits, but the actual implementation may use some other mechanism.  — end note ]

Throws: As specified in [fs.err.report].
