"Change the mode of the marked (or next ARG) files.
Symbolic modes like `g+w' are allowed.
Type M-n to pull the file attributes of the file at point

Both octal numeric modes like `644' and symbolic modes like `g+w'
are supported. Type M-n to pull the file attributes of the file
at point into the minibuffer.
See Info node `(coreutils)File permissions' for more information.
Alternatively, see the man page for \"chmod\", using the command
\\[man] in Emacs.
Note that on MS-Windows only the `w' (write) bit is meaningful:
resetting it makes the file read-only. Changing any other bit
has no effect on MS-Windows."
