SetExecutable(Boolean)

A convenience method to set the owner's execute permission for this abstract pathname.

[Android.Runtime.Register("setExecutable", "(Z)Z", "GetSetExecutable_ZHandler")]
public virtual bool SetExecutable (bool executable);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("setExecutable", "(Z)Z", "GetSetExecutable_ZHandler")>]
abstract member SetExecutable : bool -> bool
override this.SetExecutable : bool -> bool

Parameters

executable
Boolean

If true, sets the access permission to allow execute operations; if false to disallow execute operations

Returns

Boolean

true if and only if the operation succeeded. The operation will fail if the user does not have permission to change the access permissions of this abstract pathname. If executable is false and the underlying file system does not implement an execute permission, then the operation will fail.

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

A convenience method to set the owner's execute permission for this abstract pathname.

An invocation of this method of the form file.setExcutable(arg) behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation

file.setExecutable(arg, true)

[Android.Runtime.Register("setExecutable", "(ZZ)Z", "GetSetExecutable_ZZHandler")]
public virtual bool SetExecutable (bool executable, bool ownerOnly);

abstract member SetExecutable : bool * bool -> bool
override this.SetExecutable : bool * bool -> bool

Parameters

executable
Boolean

If true, sets the access permission to allow execute operations; if false to disallow execute operations

ownerOnly
Boolean

If true, the execute permission applies only to the owner's execute permission; otherwise, it applies to everybody. If the underlying file system can not distinguish the owner's execute permission from that of others, then the permission will apply to everybody, regardless of this value.

Returns

Boolean

true if and only if the operation succeeded. The operation will fail if the user does not have permission to change the access permissions of this abstract pathname. If executable is false and the underlying file system does not implement an execute permission, then the operation will fail.

Remarks

Sets the owner's or everybody's execute permission for this abstract pathname.

The java.nio.file.Files class defines methods that operate on file attributes including file permissions. This may be used when finer manipulation of file permissions is required.
