Background
The mode of a Linux file is the numeric representation of it’s access rights.
The command to see the current mode of a file in Linux is:
~ stat --format '%a' settings.php 555
The opposite of that would be:
~ chmod 555 settings.php
Here is another more elaborate example of a .c file that was compiled under arm to substitute a 32-bit binary. This worked, but permissions had to be altered for warnings to go away.
