Understanding file permissions
-
dmeans that the listing is a directory -
rmeans the item can be read -
wmeans the item can be written to (EG: modified) -
xmeans the item can be executed (EG: a script or program)
There are three sets of rwx permissions, which correspond to (in order from left-to-right):
- the current owner
- the current group
- other users
The leading d means the entry is a directory; other possibilities include:
-
l- Symlink -
s- Setuid -
t- Sticky
I don't know what trailing r you're referring to, there isn't one in your example
