GNU Find Permission Flashcards: Exact, All & Any Bits

Practice GNU find -perm with original mode-bit exercises: predict matches, build masks, and fix exact, all-bit, any-bit, and grouped searches.

A pakliról

Practice GNU find’s three permission tests: exact mode, all selected bits, and any selected bit. Predict matching files, work backward from a bit requirement to a predicate, translate selected numeric masks into symbolic forms, and repair common mistakes. Later cards combine predicates and group OR branches while keeping regular-file scope clear.

Start with the few bit-position rules needed for the exercises, then move from single-file decisions to short file lists and expressions. Related prompts are separated so the next card does not give away the answer. Each exercise specifies the file type and mode; all fixtures have special bits cleared. Answers name the result first and briefly explain the deciding bit.

This is focused mode-bit practice, not a chmod course or an access-control test. It excludes special-bit exercises, ACL calculations, recursive permission changes, and automatic command-to-description reversals that add little retrieval value. The cards also distinguish permission bits from actual write access, cover current GNU zero-mask behavior, and identify the GNU-only any-bit prefix. Shell examples assume a POSIX-like shell; result questions ask for sets, not traversal order.

Questions, explanations, fixtures, sequence, and cover are independently authored with AI assistance. The executable exercises were checked with GNU findutils 4.11.0.

  1. 1. kártya

    Kérdés

    A regular file has mode 0541 (special bits 0). Which octal bit would add owner write permission?

    Válasz

    0200. Owner permissions occupy the hundreds digit; write contributes 2.

  2. 2. kártya

    Kérdés

    In GNU find, what does -perm 0640 require?

    Válasz

    Exactly mode 0640, including no special bits. Extra read, write, execute, or special bits prevent a match.

  3. 3. kártya

    Kérdés

    In GNU find, what does the minus prefix in -perm -0240 mean?

    Válasz

    Both selected bits must be set: owner write and group read. Unselected bits may have either value.

  4. 4. kártya

    Kérdés

    In GNU find, what does the slash prefix in -perm /0104 mean?

    Válasz

    At least one selected bit must be set: owner execute or other read. Both may also be set.

  5. 5. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which files lack owner execute permission?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    memo  0640
runner  0750
shared  0660

    Válasz

    memo and shared. Their owner digit is 6 (read + write); runner has owner digit 7.

  6. 6. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which file matches GNU find . -type f -perm 0620?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    note  0620
copy  0660
tool  0720
open  0622

    Válasz

    note only. Each other mode has at least one extra bit.

  7. 7. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which files match GNU find . -type f -perm -0410?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    amber  0410
birch  0650
cedar  0600
dune  0040

    Válasz

    amber and birch. Both have owner read (0400) and group execute (0010).

  8. 8. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which files match GNU find . -type f -perm /0022?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    iris  0600
jade  0620
kelp  0602
lime  0622

    Válasz

    jade, kelp, and lime. Group write or other write is enough.

  9. 9. kártya

    Kérdés

    Write one numeric GNU -perm predicate requiring owner write AND other execute, allowing any extra bits.

    Válasz

    -perm -0201

    The mask combines owner write (0200) and other execute (0001).

  10. 10. kártya

    Kérdés

    Write a numeric GNU -perm predicate for exactly owner read/write, group execute, no other permissions, and no special bits.

    Válasz

    -perm 0610

    There is no prefix: every mode bit must agree.

  11. 11. kártya

    Kérdés

    Rewrite GNU -perm -0050 using a symbolic mode.

    Válasz

    -perm -g=rx

    Group read AND group execute are required; other bits are ignored.

  12. 12. kártya

    Kérdés

    Rewrite GNU -perm /0102 using a symbolic mode.

    Válasz

    -perm /u=x,o=w

    Owner execute OR other write is enough.

  13. 13. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which files match GNU find . -type f ! -perm /0111?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    draft  0660
public  0644
private  0600
script  0750

    Válasz

    draft, private, and public. Negating an any-execute test selects files with no execute bits.

  14. 14. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which files match GNU find . -type f -perm /0000 in current GNU find?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    sealed  0000
text  0640
run  0700

    Válasz

    All three files. GNU find treats an empty any-bit mask as matching everything; this is a special case.

  15. 15. kártya

    Kérdés

    A regular file has mode 0641 (special bits 0). Which single bit makes GNU -perm 0640 fail?

    Válasz

    Other execute (0001). Exact matching rejects that extra bit.

  16. 16. kártya

    Kérdés

    Does GNU -perm -0200 prove the invoking user can successfully write the file?

    Válasz

    No. It checks the owner-write mode bit, regardless of who invokes find. ACLs, the filesystem, and other conditions can affect access; even -writable is not a guarantee that a later write succeeds.

  17. 17. kártya

    Kérdés

    Write two GNU -perm predicates joined by implicit AND: require group write, but forbid other read. Extra bits are allowed.

    Válasz

    -perm -0020 ! -perm -0004

    The first requires group write; the negated second excludes other read.

  18. 18. kártya

    Kérdés

    GNU -perm /0041 also accepts files with just one selected bit. Replace only its mode argument to require group read AND other execute.

    Válasz

    -0041, giving -perm -0041.

    Both selected bits must be present.

  19. 19. kártya

    Kérdés

    A regular file log and a directory box both have mode 0750 (special bits 0). Which matches GNU find . -type f -perm 0750?

    Válasz

    log only. -type f restricts the result to regular files; -perm alone does not.

  20. 20. kártya

    Kérdés

    Write one numeric GNU -perm predicate selecting a file with owner execute OR group write, allowing extra bits.

    Válasz

    -perm /0120

    Either selected bit is sufficient.

  21. 21. kártya

    Kérdés

    Write a complete GNU find command under . selecting only regular files with mode exactly 0604 OR exactly 0640. All mode bits must agree.

    Válasz

    find . -type f \( -perm 0604 -o -perm 0640 \) -print

    The parentheses keep the regular-file condition outside both alternatives.

  22. 22. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which file matches GNU find . -type f -perm g=r?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    a  0040
b  0640
c  0440

    Válasz

    a only. In this exact symbolic test, the mask starts from zero, so g=r means exactly 0040.

  23. 23. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which files match GNU find . -type f ! -perm -0050?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    a  0650
b  0640
c  0610
d  0600

    Válasz

    b, c, and d. At least one required group bit is missing; the negation does not require both bits to be absent.

  24. 24. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which GNU -perm matching prefix is a GNU extension: no prefix, -, or /?

    Válasz

    / (any selected bit).

    Exact and minus-prefixed matching are specified by POSIX. Do not use obsolete GNU +mode as an alternative.

  25. 25. kártya

    Kérdés

    Does this GNU command restrict BOTH branches to regular files?

    find . -type f -perm 0604 -o -perm 0640

    Válasz

    No. Implicit AND binds more tightly than -o, so the 0640 branch can also match a directory. Group the two permission alternatives after -type f.

  26. 26. kártya

    Kérdés

    Which files match GNU find . -type f -perm 0000?

    Regular files; special bits are 0:

    a  0000
b  0400
c  0600

    Válasz

    a only. With no matching prefix, zero means exactly no ordinary or special mode bits.

  27. 27. kártya

    Kérdés

    Write a GNU -perm expression selecting files with NEITHER group write NOR other write, allowing all other bits.

    Válasz

    ! -perm /0022

    Negate the any-bit test. ! -perm -0022 would also accept files that have just one of the two write bits.
