I have two different folders in my directory with the following permissions:

file x: drwxr-xr-x 2 , file y: drwxr-xr-x 5. What is the permission difference between these two folders? why one has number 2 and the other 5?

@steeldriver , it's not clear yet: what constitutes a "link" here varies. What does it mean number of links? – Minions Apr 28 '20 at 15:19
