Dear sirs!

In paragraph 3.3.1 of the Handbook it is said
that permission "All" is also called "world".

The example follows then saying:

=====================================

For example the following command will remove
the group and “world” write permission on FILE,
then it adds the execute permissions for everyone:

% chmod go-w,a+x FILE

=====================================

Here we can see that by "world" author means
permission "Other".

Could you please define which is the correct?


Best regards,
Michael Vorobyov
