import { chmod } from "https://deno.land/x/ayonli_jsext@v0.9.72/esm/fs.js";
Changes the permission of the specified file or directory.
The mode is a sequence of 3 octal numbers. The first/left-most number specifies the permissions for the owner. The second number specifies the permissions for the group. The last/right-most number specifies the permissions for others. For example, with a mode of 0o764, the owner (7) can read/write/execute, the group (6) can read/write and everyone else (4) can read only.
| Number | Description |

| 7 | read, write, and execute |
| 6 | read and write |
| 5 | read and execute |
| 4 | read only |
| 3 | write and execute |
| 2 | write only |
