NAME

chfile − changes the attributes of a file

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/chfile [−l on | off] filename ...

FLAGS

−l on | offTurns data logging for the specified file on or off. By default, data logging is off. 

DESCRIPTION

The chfile command enables you to change the characteristics of a file.  For instance, you can engage or disengage data logging on one or more files within a file domain.  Using the recovery log of the file domain, the file system guarantees transaction-like recovery of data written to files with data logging engaged. 

Enabling data logging can slow system performance. 

RESTRICTIONS

To engage or disengage data logging, you must be the file owner.
