- stat.S_ISUID : Set user ID on execution
- stat.S_ISGID : Set group ID on execution
- stat.S_ENFMT : Record locking enforced
- stat.S_ISVTX : Save text image after execution
- stat.S_IREAD : Read by owner.
- stat.S_IWRITE : Write by owner.
- stat.S_IEXEC : Execute by owner.
- stat.S_IRWXU : Read, write, and execute by owner
- stat.S_IRUSR : Read by owner
- stat.S_IWUSR : Write by owner.
- stat.S_IXUSR : Execute by owner.
- stat.S_IRWXG : Read, write, and execute by group

Code #1:
# Python program to explain os.chmod() method # importing necessary librariesimport os, sys, stat # Set given file read by the owner.os.chmod("/Geeks/gfg.txt", stat.S_IREAD)print("File can be read only by owner.") # Set given file read by others.os.chmod("/Geeks/gfg.txt", stat.S_IROTH)print("File access changed, can be read by others now.") |
Output:
File can be read only by owner. File access changed, can be read by others now.
Code #2:
# Python program to explain os.chmod() method # importing necessary librariesimport os, sys, stat # Set given file written by the owner.os.chmod("/Geeks/gfg.txt", stat.S_IWRITE) # Set given file executed by the owner.os.chmod("/Geeks/gfg.txt", stat.S_IXUSR)print("File can be written and executed only by owner.") |
Output:
File can be written and executed only by owner.
