The correct answer is: A. +
The chmod
command is used to change the permissions of a file or directory. The +
operator is used to add permissions, while the -
operator is used to remove permissions. The =
operator is used to set permissions to a specific value. The %
operator is used to apply permissions to all files in a directory and its subdirectories.
The following table shows the different permissions that can be assigned to a file or directory:
| Permission | Description |
|—|—|
| r
| Read permission |
| w
| Write permission |
| x
| Execute permission |
| u
| User permission |
| g
| Group permission |
| o
| Other permission |
For example, the following command would give the user read and write permission to the file foo.txt
:
chmod u+rw foo.txt
The following command would remove the write permission from the group for the file bar.txt
:
chmod g-w bar.txt
The following command would set the execute permission for all users on the directory baz
:
chmod a+x baz
