Changing File Attributes with fcattr
The fcattr command is similar to the HP-UX chmod command.
About fcattr
The FTAM specification defines many attributes that describe an FTAM
file. The fcattr command gives you the ability to modify many of these
attributes for a file. To change the attributes of a file, you must have at
least FTAM change_attribute permission for the file.
The fcattr command can perform the actions in Table 3-4. Use the
associated fcattr command option to request an action.
Using fcattr
The syntax for the fcattr command is as follows:
fcattr file -dinflsv new_attribute [-dinflsv new_attribute ...]
You can use one or more options in a command (one at a time, each
followed by its argument). See Table 3-4 and the examples that follow it.
