Not homework.
You can answer whenever you want. Hope that convinces . I am not having any deadline.
I am just asking because its a dummy section and these questions shot up in my mind and i believe lots of experts are here who can just move their fingers and end these questions in my mind.

Thanks

Well, not for Sticky Bits, but some of your other questions today can be answered by using the man command. man is an online user manual designed to give the syntax, usage and examples of all shell commands.

man [command]
