    >> I want to display
    $ ls -l filename

    >> i have to use chmod or not
    Yes

    Consult `man -a chmod' or links here.
    Same thing. But you must have permission to do that.

    Code version:
    http://www.rt.com/man/chmod.2.html
    http://www.rt.com/man/stat.2.html
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    `man 2 chmod' probably help you, isn't it?
