Modes (Unix) - String Mode Examples

String Mode Examples

For example, the following command would be used to add the read and write permissions to the user and group classes of a file or directory named sample:

$ chmod ug+rw sample $ ls -ld sample drw-rw---- 2 unixguy unixguy 96 Dec 8 12:53 sample

This command removes all permissions, allowing no one to read, write, or execute the file named sample.

$ chmod a-rwx sample $ ls -l sample ---------- 2 unixguy unixguy 96 Dec 8 12:53 sample

The following command changes the permissions for the user and the group to read and execute only (no write permission) on sample.

Sample file permissions before command $ ls -ld sample drw-rw---- 2 unixguy unixguy 96 Dec 8 12:53 sample $ chmod ug=rx sample $ ls -ld sample dr-xr-x--- 2 unixguy unixguy 96 Dec 8 12:53 sample

Famous quotes containing the words string, mode and/or examples:

    ... looped with the creep of varying light,
    Monkey-brown, fish-grey, a string of infected circles
    Loitering like bullies, about to coagulate....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
