umask()

NAME

umask() - set file creation mode mask

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/stat.h>

mode_t umask (mode_t numask)

DESCRIPTION

The umask(2) routine sets the process's file mode creation mask to numask and returns the previous value of the mask. numask is a set of mode bits (as described for stat(2) or chmod(2)). These access permission bits are used by system calls, including open(2), mkdir(2), and mkfifo(2), to turn off corresponding bits requested in file mode. This clearing allows each user to restrict the default access to his files.

The default mask value is S_IWGRP|S_IWOTH (022, write access for the owner only). Child processes inherit the mask of the calling process.

RETURN VALUES

The previous value of the file mode mask is returned by the call.

ERRORS

The umask(2) function is always successful.
