To check the permissions on Linux, you can use the command “ls -l”. This command will list the file or directory permissions for the current directory. The permissions are listed as a series of letters and dashes. The first character is the type of file (d for directory, – for a regular file) and the next nine characters are the permissions for the file or directory. The permissions are in three sets of three characters, each set represents the permissions for the user, group, and other. The first character is for read permission, the second for write permission, and the third for execute permission.
To check permissions on Linux, use the “ls” command. You can also use the “stat” command to view more detailed permission information. To view permission information for a particular file, use the “ls” option followed by the –l flag and the filename. To view permission information for a directory, use the “ls” option followed by the –ld flag and the directory name. For more detailed information, you can use the “stat” command followed by the filename or directory name.
