Normally users with write permissions to a directory can delete any file in that directory regardless of that file's permisssions or ownership.
With the stickybit set on a directory , only the owner of a file can delete the file
Setting the stickybit prevents users from deleting each others' files,even though they have full access to the directory.
Example:
ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 12 root root 12288 Dec 21 12:18 /tmp
