mode

Type: number, object

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'));
});
