Python os.lchmod() Method
Description:
This method changes the mode of path to the numeric mode. If path is a symlink, this affects the symlink rather than the target.
The mode may take one of the following values or bitwise ORed combinations of them:
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.
stat.S_IRGRP: Read by group.
stat.S_IWGRP: Write by group.
stat.S_IXGRP: Execute by group.
stat.S_IRWXO: Read, write, and execute by others.
stat.S_IROTH: Read by others.
stat.S_IWOTH: Write by others.
stat.S_IXOTH: Execute by others.
