I've decrypted and mounted an android adoptable storage. After I copied some files to the adoptable storage I notice a small difference between the file that were already on the adoptable storage and the ones I copied:

Already on the adoptable storage:

-rw-rw-r--. 1 1023 1057  9146406 Jan  8 09:24 IMG_20220108_092445.jpg

and the one I copied:

-rw-rw-r--  1 1023 1057  3554128 Jan  6  2020 IMG_20200106_182924.jpg

The difference is the dot after the file permission:

-rw-rw-r--. 1 1023 1057  9146406 Jan  8 09:24 IMG_20220108_092445.jpg
          ^

I can't find any explanation in the man page. The stat command mentioned nothing:

$ stat IMG_20220108_092445.jpg IMG_20200106_182924.jpg

Does anyone knows the meaning of this little dot after the file permission?
