permissions ...what's that sign mean?
Ok guys.....
so i've been doin some light reading and i came across this command example:
# find / -perm +ug+s
The point being to find everything in the root directory that has the SUID and SGID bits set however I dont understand the significance of the first plus sign. I 've never seen an example like it before and i was wondering if it's a missprint or has a purpose that i dont know about.
Any answers?

According to this man pages on the find command, there are certain special commands you can give it that start with a plus sign. I would assume +ug and +s are simply special modes.
