dchmod [OPTION] PATH ...
Parallel MPI application to recursively change permissions and/or group from a top level directory.
dchmod provides functionality similar to chmod(1), chown(1), and chgrp(1). Like chmod(1), the tool supports the use of octal or symbolic mode to change the permissions.
-i
,
--input
FILE
¶Read source list from FILE. FILE must be generated by another tool from the mpiFileUtils suite.
-u
,
--owner
USER
¶Change owner to specified USER name.
-g
,
--group
GROUP
¶Change group to specified GROUP name.
-m
,
--mode
MODE
¶The mode to apply to each item. MODE may be octal or symbolic syntax similar to chmod(1). In symbolic notation, "ugoa" are supported as are "rwxX". As with chmod, if no leading letter "ugoa" is provided, mode bits are combined with umask to determine the actual mode.
--exclude
REGEX
¶Do not modify items whose full path matches REGEX, processed by regexec(3).
--match
REGEX
¶Only modify items whose full path matches REGEX, processed by regexec(3).
--name
¶Change --exclude and --match to apply to item name rather than its full path.
-v
,
--verbose
¶Run in verbose mode. Prints a list of statistics including the number of files walked, the number of levels there are in the directory tree, and the number of files the command operated on, and the files/sec rate for each of those.
-h
,
--help
¶Print the command usage, and the list of options available.
mpirun -np 128 dchmod --mode 755 /directory
mpirun -np 128 dchmod --group mygroup --mode u+r,g+rw /directory
mpirun -np 128 dchmod --owner user1 --group mygroup /directory
mpirun -np 128 dchmod --name --exclude ‘afilename’ --mode u+rw /directory
Note: You can use --match to change file permissions on all of the files/directories that match the regex.
