What is Sticky bit?

Answer Posted / prince nagpal

The sticky bit is a special permission that protect the
files.
if the directory permission have a sticky bit set , then
only owner of the directory or Administrator can delete
that directory. this prevents a user from deleting other
user's file from writeable directories

Example---
drwxrwxrwt---The Sticky Bit displays as the letter “t” in
the execute field for other.

If a capital “T” appears in the execute field for other, it
indicates
that the Sticky Bit is on; however, the execute bit is off
or denied.
