Syntax: os.fchmod (fd, mode)
Parameters:
fd: A file descriptor whose mode is to be set.
mode: A numeric value representing mode to be set.
mode may also take one of the following values or bitwise ORed combinations of them:
- stat.S_ISUID: Set user ID on execution
- stat.S_ISGID: Set group ID on execution
- stat.S_ENFMT: Record locking enforced
- stat.S_ISVTX: Save text image after execution

- stat.S_IXUSR: Execute by owner.
- stat.S_IRWXG: Read, write, and execute by group
- stat.S_IRGRP: Read by group
- stat.S_IWGRP: Write by group
