12.6. Changing File or Directory Permissions: The Chmod Factory

To change permissions on a file or directory, use the Chmod factory. The permission argument uses POSIX-style permission bits and should typically be expressed as an octal, not decimal, number:

      Command("file.out", "file.in",
              [
                Copy("$TARGET", "$SOURCE"),
                Chmod("$TARGET", 0755),
              ])
    

Which executes:

      % scons -Q
      Copy("file.out", "file.in")
      Chmod("file.out", 0755)
