Greetings,
In my studies I have come across octal permision mode with the find command. What on earth does it do, mean, refer to ?
The section is as follows find -perm mode : List file with the octal permission mode
I can find a decent understandable answer in the man pages or google.
Ok. From 'man find': -perm mode File's permission bits are exactly mode (octal or symbolic). Symbolic modes use mode 0 as a point of departure. -perm -mode All of the permission bits mode are set for the file. -perm +mode Any of the permission bits mode are set for the file. Now what exactly don't you understand from the above? ('man chmod' might clear up things a bit too) Cheers, Leen
