Sticky text and append-only directories
A special file mode, called the sticky bit (mode S_ISVTX), is used to indicate special treatment for directories.
It is ignored for regular files. See chmod for an explanation of file modes.
STICKY DIRECTORIES
A directory whose 'sticky bit' is set becomes an append-only directory, or, more accurately, a directory in which the deletion of files is restricted.
A file in a sticky directory may only be removed or renamed by a user if the user has write permission for the directory and the user is the owner of the file, the owner of the directory, or the super-user.
This feature is usefully applied to directories such as /tmp which must be publicly writable but should deny users the license to arbitrarily delete or rename each others' files. Any user may create a sticky directory.
See chmod for details about modifying file modes.
