[plug] what would this command do if typed as root?

[Ari Finander]

What would 'chmod 777 *.bin' do if I typed it as root from a command
prompt?  I haven't gotten to the chapter on groups, owners, and
permissions yet in my linux text.  It was recommended to do as root
before the star office install on the installation instructions page.
I wasn't sure what it would do, so I replaced the * with the filename
for the star office download and then executed it.
