What do chmod command do?..

Answer / Kalpana Singh

The chmod command in Unix changes the permissions of files and directories. It stands for 'change mode'. The syntax is: `chmod [permissions] file`, where 'permissions' can be symbolic (using u, g, o for user, group, others respectively) or octal (using numbers from 0 to 7 representing read, write, and execute permissions).
