Fails for me when I call the syscall directly, as I would expect,
and passes when I'm superuser:
$ ./test_chflags
(uid, euid) = (1000, 1000)
test_chflags: chflags: Operation not permitted
test_chflags: lchflags: Operation not permitted
$ sudo ./test_chflags
(uid, euid) = (0, 0)
According to my basic inspection in strtofflags
(.../lib/libc/gen/strtofflags.c), it works as well.
And last but not least, executing the commands directly on the CLI work:
$ tmpfile=`mktemp /tmp/chflags.XXXXXX`
$ chflags arch $tmpfile
chflags: /tmp/chflags.nQm1IL: Operation not permitted
$ rm $tmpfile
$ tmpfile=`mktemp /tmp/chflags.XXXXXX`
$ sudo chflags arch $tmpfile
$ sudo chflags noarch $tmpfile
$ rm $tmpfile
Your results may (but shouldn't) vary [unless your environment is
setup differently]...
Please note that I'm using UFS2 with SUJ... not all filesystems
support this (ext2/3/4? msdosfs? ZFS?), so I would be careful about
which filesystem you pick and whether or not there's a bug where it's
not properly identifying that the operation you're attempting to
perform is valid.
