All directories, files, mounted directories, etc. are files in a Linux
environment/OS, to eliminate unnecessary tediousness.  The bits decide
what the Linux OS will do with the files.  To have a files perform an
executions --  they need the "x" bit set.

In other words, you can read and write to a directory name, but it
won't allow visibility, writing, or reading under its name until you
set the "x" bit.
