'''Protect''' - Changes the protection flags of a file

FILE/A, FLAGS, ADD/S, SUB/S, ALL/S, QUIET/S
<nowiki>
FILE - Medatory: name/pattern of the files
FLAGS - Flags to modify (see below)
ADD - Add the specified flags
SUB - Remove the specified flags
ALL - Modify flags of all files matching entered pattern
QUIET - Removes text messages</nowiki>
The protection bits are represented by letters:
<nowiki>
s - The file is a script
p - The file is a pure command and can be made resident
a - The file has been archived
r - The file can be read
w - The file can be written to (altered)
e - The file is executable (a program)
d - The file or directory can be deleted.
(Files within a delete-protected directory can still be deleted.)</nowiki>
You have three ways to set or clear protection flags of a file:

# Specify the protection bits you want to set using the FLAGS argument without any other argument.
# Use ADD and/or SUB followed by the bits you want to set/clear
# Use '+' followed by the bits you want to set and '-' followed by the bits you want to clear.

Examples:
<nowiki>
MorphOS:> Protect myfile +sr
Sets the script and read bit of file 'myfile'

MorphOS:> Protect #?.txt w SUB
clears the write bit of all files matching pattern '#?.txt'</nowiki>
