While normally the execute permission bits are used to evaluate executabili= ty, this is not possible on filesystems which don't support permissions at all (like= FAT/FAT32), or if ACLs are ignored on filesystems supporting them (see the aforemention= ed acl mount option). In these cases, the following heuristic is used to evaluate if a f= ile is executable: Files ending in certain extensions (.exe, .com, .bat, .btm, .cm= d) are assumed to be executable.
