- The ggeettmmooddee() function returns a copy of the file permission bits _m_o_d_e as
- altered by the values pointed to by _s_e_t. While only the mode bits are al
- tered, other parts of the file mode may be examined.
-
- The sseettmmooddee() function takes an absolute (octal) or symbolic value, as
- described in chmod(1), as an argument and returns a pointer to mode val
- ues to be supplied to ggeettmmooddee(). Because some of the symbolic values are
- relative to the file creation mask, sseettmmooddee() may call umask(2). If this
- occurs, the file creation mask will be restored before sseettmmooddee() returns.
- If the calling program changes the value of its file creation mask after
- calling sseettmmooddee(), sseettmmooddee() must be called again if ggeettmmooddee() is to mod
- ify future file modes correctly.
-
- If the mode passed to sseettmmooddee() is invalid, sseettmmooddee() returns NULL.
-
- EERRRROORRSS
- The sseettmmooddee() function may fail and set errno for any of the errors spec
- ified for the library routine malloc(3).
