141 as three sets of three bits each.
142 The first set refers to owner permissions;
143 the next to permissions to others in the same user-group;
144 and the last to all others.
145 Within each set the three characters indicate
146 permission respectively to read, to write, or to
147 execute the file as a program.

151 The permissions are indicated as follows:
154 if the file is readable;
158 if the file is writable;
161 if the file is executable;
164 if none of the above permissions is granted.
