In Linux, you can read permissions using the command “ls –l”. This will output a series of 10 characters for each file or directory. The first character indicates the type of file (e.g. d for directory, – for plain file). The next 9 characters indicate the permission of the file – three sets of three characters (rwx) which represent the permissions for the owner (user), group, and other users respectively. r represents read permissions, w represents write permissions, and x represents execute permissions.
