In Linux, the inode stores file permissions in a section known as the "mode" field. This field is a 16-bit value that includes information about the file type and the permission bits for the owner, group, and others, indicating whether they can read, write, or execute the file. The permissions are represented in a combination of bits, where each bit corresponds to a specific permission level.
