A wrapper for the POSIX chmod() function. The chmod() function is
used to set the permissions of a file system object.
On Windows the file protection mechanism is not at all POSIX-like,
and the underlying chmod() function in the C library just sets or
clears the FAT-style READONLY attribute. It does not touch any
ACL. Software that needs to manage file permissions on Windows
exactly should use the Win32 API.
See your C library manual for more details about chmod().
