.TH UMASK 2 1998-08-09 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
|||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|||
|
|
umask \- set file creation mask
|
|||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|||
|
|
.B #include <sys/types.h>
|
|||
|
|
.br
|
|||
|
|
.B #include <sys/stat.h>
|
|||
|
|
.sp
|
|||
|
|
.BI "mode_t umask(mode_t " mask );
|
|||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|||
|
|
.B umask
|
|||
|
|
sets the umask to
|
|||
|
|
.I mask
|
|||
|
|
& 0777.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The umask is used by
|
|||
|
|
.BR open (2)
|
|||
|
|
to set initial file permissions on a newly-created file.
|
|||
|
|
Specifically, permissions in the umask are turned off from
|
|||
|
|
the \fBmode\fR argument to
|
|||
|
|
.BR open (2)
|
|||
|
|
(so, for example, the common umask default value of 022 results in new
|
|||
|
|
files being created with permissions 0666 & ~022 = 0644 = rw-r--r--
|
|||
|
|
in the usual case where the \fBmode\fR is specified as 0666).
|
|||
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|||
|
|
This system call always succeeds and the previous value of the mask
|
|||
|
|
is returned.
|
|||
|
|
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
|
|||
|
|
SVr4, SVID, POSIX, X/OPEN, BSD 4.3
