  3. File-system permissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File-system_permissions

    The read permission grants the ability to read a file. When set for a directory, this permission grants the ability to read the names of files in the directory, but not to find out any further information about them such as contents, file type, size, ownership, permissions. The write permission grants the ability to modify a file. When set for ...

  4. Unix security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_security

    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).

  5. Extended file attributes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes

    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.

  6. Sticky bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit

    The most common modern use of the sticky bit is on directories residing within filesystems for Unix-like operating systems. When a directory's sticky bit is set, the filesystem treats the files in such directories in a special way so only the file's owner, the directory's owner, or root can rename or delete the file.

  7. Protection ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_ring

    Linux, macOS and Windows are three operating systems that use supervisor/user mode. To perform specialized functions, user mode code must perform a system call into supervisor mode or even to the kernel space where trusted code of the operating system will perform the needed task and return the execution back to the userspace.

  8. Application permissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_permissions

    The permission-based access control model assigns access privileges for certain data objects to application. This is a derivative of the discretionary access control model. The access permissions are usually granted in the context of a specific user on a specific device. Permissions are granted permanently with few automatic restrictions.

  9. Process management (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_management_(computing)

    The execution of multiple processes over a period of time, rather than simultaneously, is known as concurrent execution. A multiprogramming or multitasking OS is a system that can execute many processes concurrently. Multiprogramming requires that the processor be allocated to each process for a period of time and de-allocated or issued at an ...
