chmod: octal values for all permits
The instructions based on the chmod (change mode or “mode change”) are widely used on Linux (or Unix) to change the permissions associated with a file, a mode can be expressed as a number in base eight, or symbolic form the system provides an octal number composed of one to four digits indicating the permissions directly attributed to the file without taking into account those already present. Each number from “0″ to “7″ in the scale of octal chmod has its corresponding symbolic
- 7 = rwx = read, write and execution;
- Rw-= 6 = read and write;
- 5 = rx = read and execute;
- 4 = r-= read;
- 3 =-wx = write, and execute;
- 2 =-w-= write;
- 1 =-x = execution;
- 0 = – = no permission.
