## chmod

    chmod mode, filelist

Changes the permissions of a list of files. The first argument must be the permissions mode given in its octal number representation. The function returns the number of files successfully changed. For example:

>     $cnt = chmod 0755, 'file1', 'file2';

will set `$cnt` to `0`, `1`, or `2`, depending on how many files got changed (in the sense that the operation succeeded, not in the sense that the bits were different afterward).
