What is sticky bit in linux and what is soft link and hard link

Question

Accepted Answer

Sticky bit is a permission bit in Linux that allows only the owner of a file or directory to delete or rename it. Soft link and hard link are two types of links used in Linux file systems.

Sticky bit is denoted by 't' in the permission bits of a file or directory
Soft link is a symbolic link to a file or directory and can be created using the 'ln -s' command
Hard link is a link to a file and shares the same inode as the original file. It can be created using the 'ln' command
Soft links can point to files or directories on different file systems, while hard links cannot
Deleting the original file will not affect the hard link, but it will break the soft link
