NAME
umask - set and get file creation mask SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
sets the process's file mode creation mask to cmask and returns the previous value of the mask. Only the file access permission bits of the masks are used.

The following creates a file named in the current directory with permissions so that the file can be written only by its owner, and can be read or executed only by the owner or processes with group permission, even though group write permission and all permissions for others are passed in to RETURN VALUE
The previous value of the file mode creation mask is returned. SEE ALSO
