0o4760

0o4760 is an octal integer literal used in Python and other languages to denote a base-8 value. The prefix 0o indicates octal notation, and the digits in this case are 4, 7, 6, and 0. The decimal equivalent of 0o4760 is 2544.

In Unix-like systems, the same digit sequence can describe a file mode when interpreted as a four-digit octal permission. The first digit (4) represents the special bits, with 4 indicating the setuid flag. The next three digits specify access for the owner, group, and others: 7 means read, write, and execute for the owner; 6 means read and write for the group; and 0 means no permissions for others. Therefore, the mode 4760 (or 04760 in some contexts) encodes setuid with owner rwx, group rw-, and others ---.

In practical terms, 0o4760 can be used in programming and system administration to describe or compute permission masks. In Python, it yields the integer value 2544, which can be used in bitwise operations or passed to system interfaces that accept octal permissions. In Unix permissions terminology, the same digits correspond to a specific combination of access rights and a setuid bit, typically applied to executables.

Security considerations apply: enabling the setuid bit can create elevated privilege risks, so such modes are used with caution and are often restricted on scripts. The 0o4760 pattern is more commonly seen with compiled binaries or carefully controlled executables.
