because changing the permission will cause the same issue:
$ cat temporary.txt cat: temporary.txt: Permission denied $ ls -l temporary.txt ---------- 1 balbi balbi 0 Feb 19 15:37 temporary.txt $ cat temporary.txt cat: temporary.txt: Permission denied $ cat non-existent.txt cat: non-existent.txt: No such file or directory
