[bf1942] *blushing* NOOB ?

[Kyle Perkins]

Usage: chmod [OPTION]... MODE[,MODE]... FILE...
  or: chmod [OPTION]... OCTAL-MODE FILE...
  or: chmod [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...
Change the mode of each FILE to MODE.

  -c, --changes      like verbose but report only when a change is made
  -f, --silent, --quiet  suppress most error messages
  -v, --verbose      output a diagnostic for every file processed
    --reference=RFILE  use RFILE's mode instead of MODE values
  -R, --recursive     change files and directories recursively
    --help   display this help and exit
    --version output version information and exit
