- Synopsis:
- $umask(<mask>)
-
- Technical:
- This function sets the default file umask used when creating and writing
- files with EPIC's builtin file functions. The umask sets the permission
- bits to block when writing. Essentially, the resultant permission bits
- would be the default minus the umask.
-
- Practical:
- This function is used to set the default file permissions. The $chmod()
- function is affected by it.
-
- Returns:
- previous umask, or nothing if no new umask is given
-
- Examples:
- $umask(77) sets default permissions to 700
- $umask(2) sets default permissions to 775
- $umask() error, no mask, returns nothing

- chmod(6)
