→Viewing the Permission Mode
You can view the permission on a file using the <code>-1</code> argument to the <code>ls</code> command. You can also view file permissions using most graphical file managers, such as Nautilus (GNOME) or Konqueror (KDE), although you will need to change from the default view settings.
