The command "namei --owners ${path-to-a} ${path-to-b} ${path-to-c}" is used to display the ownership information and permissions for the given file paths (a, b, and c).
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "namei" is a command-line utility that displays file and directory information.
- "--owners" option is used to display the ownership information of the file or directory.
- "${path-to-a}" "${path-to-b}" "${path-to-c}" are the placeholders that represent the actual file paths or directories you want to retrieve ownership information for. Replace them with the actual paths you're interested in.
By running this command, you will get information about the owners of the specified file paths, including user and group ownership, along with the permissions set on those files.
