The
chattr0method, which attempts to clear special file attributes (like 'i' for immutable) usingioctl, can fail with anErrnoExceptionand the error codeENOTSUP(Operation not supported) on certain filesystems or Android environments (e.g., noted on a Android 11 device).When
ioctlfails withENOTSUP, it means the underlying filesystem does not support the operation of setting/clearing these attributes. In this case, we can safely assume the file/directory is not immutable via this mechanism and treat the operation as a successful non-action.This commit updates
chattr0to catchErrnoExceptionspecifically and returntrueif the error isOsConstants.ENOTSUP, preventing unexpected failures in config file management.
