You can use the "ls -l" command on a file to show its permissions.

You have 3 sets of permissions : owner's permissions, group permissions,
rest-of-the-world permissions.

Each set of permissions displayed by the "ls" command indicates a
combination of read, write and execute access (denoted by 'r' , 'w' and
'x', a '-' indicates a lack of the designated permission).
