What does the (x) permission on a directory mean?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The execute permission on a directory means you can use the cd command to change into the directory. It also means you can access the files and subdirectories inside the directory, if you have read permission on them. The execute permission does not affect the visibility or exportability of the directory. Reference: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/sec-file-permissions.html

I might be mixing it up, but I think the (x) permission is about executing files within the directory, not just accessing it.
