Hi all,


If i have a file with for example srwxrw-rw- permissions.

What does "s" in first position mean ? As far as i know that's not a sticky bit but what else ?


Thanks in advance

This is not a regular file, but a UNIX domain socket, used for inter-process communication within the same system. If you have X installed and a graphics adapter then you will see at least one such socket under /tmp/.X11-unix.
