# Find the Final Entry

The lookup of the final component of the pathname goes just like that of all other components, with two differences: The “t” bit is voodoo: `unlink(pathname = "/tmp/no-no-no") failed, Operation not permitted (1, EPERM) because the pathname directory "/tmp" has the sticky bit (S_ISVTX) set and the process's effective UID (200 "pmiller") is neither the UID of the file to be deleted (201 "archives") nor that of the directory (0 "root"), and the process is not privileged (does not have the DAC_FOWNER capability)`
