14       entries specified by  name to mode. Entries are specified using indexed
15       names  (see  nismatch(1)).  Only  principals  with  modify access to an
16       object may change its mode.

49
50
51
52       op is one of:
53
54       +       To grant the  permission.
55
56
57       −       To revoke the  permission.
58
59
60       =       To set the permissions explicitly.
61
62
63
64       permission is any combination of:
65
66       r    Read.
67
68
69       m    Modify.
70
71
72       c    Create.

74
75       d    Destroy.

79       Unlike the system chmod(1) command, this command  does  not  accept  an
80       octal notation.
81

OPTIONS

83       The following options are supported:
84
85       -A    Modify  all  entries in all tables in the concatenation path that
86             match the search criteria specified in name. This option  implies
87             the -P switch.
88
89
90       -f    Force the operation and fail silently if it does not succeed.
91
92
93       -L    Follow  links  and  change the permission of the linked object or
94             entries rather than the permission of the link itself.
95
96
97       -P    Follow the concatenation path within a named table.  This  option
98             is  only applicable when either name is an indexed name or the -L
99             switch is also specified and the named object is a link  pointing
100             to an entry.

EXAMPLES

104       Example 1 Using the nischmod Command
105
106
107       This  example gives everyone read access to an object. (that is, access
108       for owner, group, and all).
109
110
111         example% nischmod a+r object
112
113
114
115
116       This example denies create and modify privileges to   group  and  unau‐
117       thenticated clients (nobody).
118
119
120         example% nischmod gn−cm object
121
122
123
124
125       In this example, a complex set of permissions are set for an object.
126
127
128         example% nischmod o=rmcd,g=rm,w=rc,n=r object
129
130
131
132
133       This  example sets the permissions of an entry in the password table so
134       that the group owner can modify them.
135
136
137         example% nischmod g+m '[uid=55],passwd.org_dir'
138
139
140
141
142       The next example changes the permissions of a linked object.
