Tracking Issue for std::fs::set_permissions_nofollow

Feature gate: #![feature(set_permissions_nofollow)]

This is a tracking issue for the std::fs::set_permissions_nofollow function.

This function acts similarly to fs::set_permissions, except that it will never follow symlinks. This functions behavior when called on a symlink is platform-specific: on some platforms it will fail with an error, while on other platforms it may simply have no effect.

Public API

pub fn set_permissions_nofollow<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P, perm: Permissions) -> Result<()>
