This permission must be set for executable programs, in order to allow the operating system to run them. When set for a directory, the execute permission is interpreted as the search permission: it grants the ability to access file contents and meta-information if its name is known, but not list files inside the directory, unless read is set also.
They are notably used by the NFS server of the Interix POSIX subsystem in order to implement Unix-like permissions. The Windows Subsystem for Linux added in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update uses them for similar purposes, storing the Linux file mode, owner, device ID (if applicable), and file times in the extended attributes.

Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems (Sun) in 1984, [1] allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a computer network much like local storage is accessed. NFS, like many other protocols, builds on the Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC
These entries are known as access-control entries (ACEs) in the Microsoft Windows NT, [4] OpenVMS, and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, macOS, and Solaris. Each accessible object contains an identifier to its ACL. The privileges or permissions determine specific access rights, such as whether a user can read from, write to, or execute ...
A core security feature in these systems is the file system permissions. All files in a typical Unix filesystem have permissions set enabling different access to a file. Unix permissions permit different users access to a file with different privilege (e.g., reading, writing, execution).
The setuid permission set on a directory is ignored on most UNIX and Linux systems. [ 5 ] [ citation needed ] However FreeBSD can be configured to interpret setuid in a manner similar to setgid , in which case it forces all files and sub-directories created in a directory to be owned by that directory's owner - a simple form of inheritance.

Adds read and execute permissions for all classes chmod u=rw,g=r,o= internalPlan.txt: Sets read and write permission for user, sets read for Group, and denies access for Others: chmod -R u+w,go-w docs: Adds write permission to the directory docs and all its contents (i.e. Recursively) for owner, and removes write permission for group and others
prohibit the write permission from being set for the user, while leaving the rest of the flags unchanged; allow the read permission to be enabled for the group, while prohibiting write and execute permission for the group; allow the read permission to be enabled for others, while leaving the rest of the other flags unchanged.
