fchmod

Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list

Synopsis

long fchmod(unsigned int fd, umode_t mode);

Number (x86-64)	91
ABI	common
Kernel entry point	sys_fchmod

This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.

Description

Changes the permission bits of an open file.

Arguments

Name	Type	Meaning
fd (arg0)	unsigned int	File descriptor to operate on.
mode (arg1)	umode_t	Permission bits (and, for some calls, the file type) for a file or directory being created or changed.

Return value

On success: 0.

In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.

Common errors

Raw return	Name	Meaning
-9	EBADF	A file descriptor is not valid for this operation.
-1	EPERM	The operation is not permitted for this process.

Captured by Antinomie

Coverage mark: Implemented. All arguments are plain values, recorded as the raw argument words at entry. There is no pointee to copy and no known gap.

Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).

Arguments

Argument	When	How	Recorded field key	Condition
fd (arg0)	Entry	raw scalar word	args.0, args.fd
mode (arg1)	Entry	raw scalar word	args.1, args.mode

Filter fields

• Result: ret, syscall.errno, syscall.success, syscall.duration_ns.
• Argument words: args.fd (arg0), args.mode (arg1); args.0 to args.5 by position.

See Syscall Trace filter for the full syntax.
