Answer / prince nagpal
The sticky bit is a special permission that protect the
files.
if the directory permission have a sticky bit set , then
only owner of the directory or Administrator can delete
that directory. this prevents a user from deleting other
user's file from writeable directories
Example---
drwxrwxrwt---The Sticky Bit displays as the letter âtâ in
the execute field for other.
If a capital âTâ appears in the execute field for other, it
indicates
that the Sticky Bit is on; however, the execute bit is off
or denied.

Sticky bit was used to trigger process to "stick" in memory
after it is finished, now this usage is obsolete. Currently
its use is system dependant and it is mostly used to
suppress deletion of the files that belong to other users
in the folder where you have "write" access to.
Ex:
If set, then replaces "x" in the others permissions to "t",
if others have execute permissions, or to "T" otherwise.
Examples:
-rwxrwxrwt both others execute and sticky bit are set
-rwxrwxr-T sticky bit is set, but others execute is not set
