    NAME
         chflags - change file flags

    SYNOPSIS
         chflags [-R] [-f]flags file ...

    DESCRIPTION
         The chflags utility modifies the file flags of the listed
         files as specified by the flags operand.

         The options are as follows:

         -R             Change the file flags for the file hierar-
    		    chies rooted in the files instead of just the
    		    files themselves.

         -f chflags will not complain if it fails to change the flags
         on a file.

         Flags are a comma separated list of keywords.  The following
         keywords are currently defined:

         arch		 No effect.  This bit is defined and will
    			 be set/cleared as requested but nothing
    			 in the system makes use of it yet.

         dump		 Set the dump flag

         sappnd		 Set the system append-only flag (super-
    			 user only)

         schg		 Set the system immutable flag (super-
    			 user only)

         uappnd		 Set the user append-only flag (owner or
    			 super-user only)

         uchg		 Set the user immutable flag (owner or
    			 super-user only)

         Putting the letters no before an option causes the flag to
         be turned off.  For example:

         nodump		 the file should never be dumped

         Symbolic links do not have flags and are silently ignored by
         chflags. When the -R option is given and symbolic links are
         encountered they are not traversed.  This is the same
         behaviour as chmod(1).

         The chflags utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
         occurs.
