Master Linux Permissions and File Types While Your Coffee Brews
In Linux, everything you interact with is treated as a file. This is the core idea that makes Linux incredibly flexible and powerful.
In this book, I've explored the different types of files, from regular files to special ones used for hardware and communication. I've also explained links, like shortcuts to files, and how to identify them.
Security is a big deal in Linux. File permissions control who can access and modify your files. I've shown you how to use commands like ls and chmod to view and change these permissions, giving you control over your data.
Special permissions, like the Sticky bit, SUID, and SGID, add extra layers of security.
Understanding file types and permissions is essential for any Linux user.
Included Infographics
I made sure the topic in every chapter is easily understandable by creating infographics as shown below.
This book comes in two versions:
- The free version comes with 30 pages of examples and infographics,
- The paid version is about 50 pages long and includes extra questions, demonstrations, and exercises.
I hope you like the book.
Cheers,
