Class Chmod

java.lang.Object
  com.mucommander.file.util.Chmod

public class Chmod
extends java.lang.Object

This class is a gateway to the chmod UNIX command. It provides static methods that allow to change a file's permissions, overcoming the limitations of java.io.File.

The chmod command is available only under UNIX-based systems -- a call to any of this class' methods under other OS will likely fail.
