Series 300 Implementation

NAME

chatr − change program’s internal attributes

SYNOPSIS

chatr [−n] [−q] [−s] files

DESCRIPTION

Chatr, by default, prints each file’s magic number and file attributes to the standard output.  With one or more optional arguments, chatr performs the following operations:

-n change the file from demand loaded to shared. 

-q change the file from shared to demand loaded. 

−s perform action silently. 

Upon completion, chatr prints the file’s old and new values to the standard output file, unless −s is in effect. 

RETURN VALUE

Chatr returns zero on success.  If the call to chatr is syntactically incorrect, or one or more of the specified files cannot be acted upon, chatr returns the number of files whose attributes could not be modified.  If no files are specified, chatr returns decimal 255. 

SEE ALSO

ld(1), a.out(5), magic(5). 

DIAGNOSTICS

The error messages produced by chatr should be self-explanatory.
