title: Meaning of chmod o+rx '{}' \
body: <p>I am trying to figure out what the following command would do. I extracted it from a Linux shell script and when I enter it goes to a prompt (>). But I cannot figure out what to enter in this prompt.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    find ~/dev/tools/flex-4.5.0.20967 -type d -exec chmod o+rx '{}' \
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know the purpose of the find command here. It is searching for the specified directory, checking whether it is indeed a directory and executing the chmod command on that directory. What I cannot figure out is the format of the chmod command here.</p>
  
  <p>I checked man page of chmod but cannot determine the functionality of the above chmod format.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
