A combination of the letters `ugoa' controls which users' access to 
the file  will  be  changed:  the  user who owns it (u), other users 
in the file's group (g), other users not in the file's group (o), or 
all users (a).   If  none of these are given, the effect is as if `a' 
were given, but bits that are set in the umask are not affected.

The operator `+' causes the permissions selected to  be  added  to  
the existing  permissions  of each file; `-' causes them to be 
removed; and `=' causes them to be the only permissions that the file 
has.

The letters `rwxXstugo' select the new  permissions  for  the  
affected users:  read  (r),  write (w), execute (or access for 
directories) (x), execute only if the file is a directory or already 
has execute  permission  for  some user (X), set user or group ID on 
execution (s), sticky (t), the permissions granted to the user who 
owns  the  file  (u),  the permissions  granted to other users who 
are members of the file's group (g), and the permissions granted to 
users that are in  neither  of  the two preceding categories (o).
