mode

Type: number, object

Can either be a chflags octal number or an object with the individual flags specified.

Values depends on the current file, but these are the possible keys:

{
	hidden: true,
	opaque: true,
	nodump: true,
	uappnd: true,
	uappend: true,
	uchg: true,
	uchange: true,
	uimmutable: true,
	uunlnk: true,
	uunlink: true,
	arch: true,
	archived: true,
	sappnd: true,
	sappend: true,
	schg: true,
	schange: true,
	simmutable: true,
	sunlnk: true,
	sunlink: true
}

Tip

Combine it with gulp-filter to only change permissions on a subset of the files.

var gulp = require('gulp');
var gFilter = require('gulp-filter');
var chmod = require('gulp-chmod');

var filter = gFilter('src/cli.js');

gulp.task('default', function () {
	return gulp.src('src/*.js')
		// filter a subset of the files
		.pipe(filter)
		// make them immutable
		.pipe(chflags({ uchg: true }))
		// bring back the previously filtered out files
		.pipe(filter.restore())
		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});
