    "0" is for octal, the radix of choice.

    For the rest, look at the file "/usr/include/linux/stat.h" at all the
    S_IFREG, S_IFLNK, S_IFSOCK flags, and all the rest. These extra bits
    in the mode word are how Linux records the type of i-node that these
    files represent.

    For help in decoding these bits, just do a:

            $ man 2 stat

    from a command line.

    Cheers!
