Examples

example to read-only. The UNIX system access permissions for example are
currently read, write, and execute for user, group, and other (rwxrwxrwx). You
type:
uchmod go-wx example
This changes the access permissions to rwxr--r--.

execute. The UNIX system access permissions for two are currently read-only for
