gfs_chmod() changes the mode of the file
given by gfarm_url. Permission bit masks of
mode are similar to ones of mode parameter to
chmod(2), though only the least 9 bit are
effective.
An executable file cannot be changed to a non-executable file
and vice versa, unless the number of fragment of the file is only one.
In detail, a file has multiple fragments with any execution bit should not
be changed to that with no execution bit. It is necessary to have
at least one execution bit. Similarly, a file has multiple fragments
with no execution bit should not be changed to that with any execution bit.
