There is something I am still not getting yet. I was playing around with /dev/pts/0 file by changing the file permission into 720, in order to rename that file into something different, but, still, permission is "denied". Could someone tell me the reason for that?

Thanks a million.

Does this answer your question? What is stored in /dev/pts files and can we open them? – Panki Dec 06 '22 at 09:30
Permission bits of the file itself don't come into play for renaming the file. Execute vs Read bit. How do directory permissions in Linux work? describes at least some of it. – ilkkachu Dec 06 '22 at 21:58
