umask - set and get the file mode creation mask
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <sys/stat.h>
mode_t umask(mode_t
cmask);
The
umask() function shall set the process' file mode creation mask to
cmask and return the previous value of the mask. Only the file
permission bits of
cmask (see
<sys/stat.h>) are used; the
meaning of the other bits is implementation-defined.
The process' file mode creation mask is used during
open(),
creat(),
mkdir(), and
mkfifo() to turn off permission
bits in the
mode argument supplied. Bit positions that are set in
cmask are cleared in the mode of the created file.
The file permission bits in the value returned by
umask() shall be the
previous value of the file mode creation mask. The state of any other bits in
that value is unspecified, except that a subsequent call to
umask()
with the returned value as
cmask shall leave the state of the mask the
same as its state before the first call, including any unspecified use of
those bits.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
None.
Unsigned argument and return types for
umask() were proposed. The return
type and the argument were both changed to
mode_t.
Historical implementations have made use of additional bits in
cmask for
their implementation-defined purposes. The addition of the text that the
meaning of other bits of the field is implementation-defined permits these
implementations to conform to this volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.
