Hi, Here is some information on those bits. It's essentially special file bits... As such: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Mode-Structure.html We have the permission bits + other bits for setuid setgid and sticky bits.

I found the permissions field in the JSON from kafka topic is something like "permissions": "200100600". It seems the "600" part is the same as UNIX file permission, but what does the "200100" part stand for? Thank you! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
