What is true of it

Faug is F, A and C♯ — 1, 3 and #5 counted from F.

The easiest of the 5 fingerings below is 10322x: 4 fingers, held at the 1st fret.

None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.

1 string stays silent.

The brass dots are F, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
