chmod: Remove e[x]ecutable rights from the [g]roup.
$ chmod g-x ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "chmod g-x ${filename}" is used to modify the permissions of a file for the group that it belongs to.
Here's a breakdown of the components of the command:
- "chmod" is short for "change mode" and is a command used to change the permission settings of a file or directory.
- "g-x" specifies the modification being made to the group's permissions. In this case, "g-x" means that the execute permission is being removed for the group. The "x" represents the execute permission, so by using "g-x" we are removing it from the group.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the file that you want to modify. This should be replaced with the specific filename you want to target.
Overall, the command "chmod g-x ${filename}" is used to remove the execute permission from the group for a specific file.
