Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The three special file modes are setuid, setgid, and sticky. These modes are used to give special permissions to files and directories. Setuid allows a user to execute a file as if they were the owner of the file, setgid allows a user to execute a file as if they were a member of the group that owns the file, and sticky ensures that only the owner of a file or directory can delete it. These modes are denoted by the letters u+s, g+s, and o+t respectively.
