To get the permissions of a file in Linux, use the “ls -l” command. This command will list the permissions of a file in the form of a 10-character string. The first character indicates the type of file and the remaining nine characters indicate the permissions. Each set of three characters (rwx) indicates the permissions for the user, group, and other users respectively. For example, if the output is “-rw-r–r–“, it indicates that the file is a regular file with read and write permissions for the user, read permission for the group, and read permission for other users.
