How to search for files with specific permissions using the ‘find’ command in Linux?

To search for files with specific permissions using the ‘find’ command in Linux, you can use the ‘-perm’ option followed by the octal representation of the permissions you want to search for.

For example, the following command will find all files in the ‘/path/to/directory’ directory and its subdirectories that have the read, write, and execute permissions set for the owner:

find /path/to/directory -type f -perm /700

You can also search for files with specific permissions using symbolic representation, like this:

find /path/to/directory -type f -perm /u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx

This will find all files that are readable, executable, and writable by the owner, and readable and executable by the group and others.

Note that in the symbolic representation, u stands for user, g stands for group, and o stands for others.
