How to copy permissions from one file to another on Linux

You can copy the permissions from one file to another using the chmod command with the --reference option on a Linux system. The following command will copy the permissions from the file reference_file to the file target_file:

chmod --reference=reference_file target_file

This will set the permissions of target_file to be exactly the same as those of reference_file. Note that the ownership and timestamps of target_file will not be changed.
