Hi Slick,

Apart from the obvious read, write, execute for Owner, Group and Other permissions at the beginning of the line there are type indicators.

Code:
Type Indicator  |  Owner  |   Group  |  Other
        -           rwx        r-x       r-x

The various type indicators are as follows:

Indicator Meaning
- = Normal file
d
= Directory
b = Block type special file
c = Character type special file
l = Symbolic Link
p = Named Pipe
s
= Socket
