If the mode is an
.I octal
number, the modes are set according to that number's comprising bits. The first
digit defines the setuid (4) and setgid (2) attributes. The second digit
defines the owner's permissions: read (4), write (2), and execute (1); the third
defines permissions for others in the file's group; and the fourth for all other
users. Leading zeroes may be omitted.
