os.chmod()

os.chmod() is a Python function in the OS Module category. Changes the file permissions (mode) of a path. The syntax is os.chmod(path, mode, *, dir_fd=None, follow_symlinks=True). Parameters: path, mode. Returns: None. A typical example: os.chmod("script.sh", 0o755) # Make executable. A close sibling is os.getcwd(), which returns the current working directory as a string. A close sibling is os.chdir(), which changes the current working directory to the given path. A close sibling is os.listdir(), which returns a list of all files and directories in the given path. A close sibling is os.mkdir(), which creates a single directory. Raises FileExistsError if it already exists.
