NAME
Setup::File - Setup file (existence, mode, permission, content)
VERSION
This document describes version 0.19 of Setup::File (from Perl
distribution Setup-File), released on 2014-05-02.
FUNCTIONS
chmod(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]
Set file's permission mode.
Fixed state: "path" exists and mode is already correct.
Fixable state: "path" exists but mode is not correct.
Unfixable state: "path" doesn't exist.
This function is idempotent (repeated invocations with same arguments
has the same effect as single invocation). This function supports
transactions.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* follow_symlink => *bool* (default: 0)
Whether to follow symlink.
* mode* => *str*
Permission mode, either numeric or symbolic (e.g. a+w).
* orig_mode => *int*
If set, confirm if current mode is not the same as this.
* path* => *str*
Path to file/directory.
Special arguments:
* -tx_action => *str*
For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction.
* -tx_action_id => *str*
For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction.
* -tx_recovery => *str*

* -tx_v => *str*
For more information on transaction, see Rinci::Transaction.
Return value:
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200
means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is

Setup file (existence, mode, permission, content).
On do, will create file (if it doesn't already exist) and correct
mode/permission as well as content.

FAQ
Why not allowing coderef in 'check_content_func' and 'gen_content_func' argument?
Because transactional function needs to store its argument in database
(currently in JSON), coderefs are not representable in JSON.
