What would the file permission example "rwsr-sr-x" translate to in absolute mode?

1755 represents the sticky bit (value 1) with rwxr-xr-x permissions; the sticky bit appears as 't' in the others execute position, not 's' in owner and group positions.

The symbolic string breaks into owner 'rws' (read+write+execute with SUID = 7), group 'r-s' (read+execute with SGID = 5), and others 'r-x' (read+execute = 5). The lowercase 's' in the owner execute position indicates the SUID bit (value 4) and the 's' in the group execute position indicates the SGID bit (value 2), producing a special-bit prefix of 6. Combined, this yields 6755 in absolute octal notation.

6645 would imply SUID+SGID with rw-r--r-x permissions, but the lowercase 's' in the owner position confirms the execute bit is set, making the owner octet 7 not 6.

1644 represents the sticky bit with rw-r--r-- permissions, which matches neither the SUID+SGID special bits nor the execute permissions visible in the symbolic string.
