+.SH "STICKY DIRECTORIES"
+A directory whose `sticky bit' is set
+becomes an append-only directory, or, more accurately,
+a directory in which the deletion of files is restricted.
+A file in a sticky directory may only be removed or renamed
+by a user if the user has write permission for the directory and
+the user is the owner of the file, the owner of the directory,
+or the super-user.
+This feature is usefully applied to directories such as /tmp
+which must be publicly writable but
+should deny users the license to arbitrarily
+delete or rename each others' files.
