    You haven't given much context for your question.

    UID is User ID, GID is Group ID. The leading 's' implies "set". In the context of an executable program, it could set its UID and/or GID when it's run (well, the scheduler does really), chmod is used to set the appropriate bits in the permissions, ls will show them as 's' or 'S', as necessary.

    I await your followup so I know what I have to clarify.
