The +x option in the chmod command adds execute permission to a file. This means that after running chmod +x filename, the specified file (e.g., arguments.sh) can be executed as a program or script by the user, group, or others, depending on the existing permissions.

For example:

  • If a script is not executable by default, using chmod +x allows you to run it directly from the terminal.
