Notice, that the UMASK is the inverted number the file mode is set to.

That is: the normal file rights are three sets of digits 0-7. UMASK now is what you take away from "777" to arrive at the result. If your UMASK is (hypothetically) "777" that will result in a file with mode "000". If you set the UMASK to "037" that will set the file mode to "640" (the "7" would be the x-bit set which is not done automatically, therefore 6 and not 7 in the first digit).

Note also, that directory rights work a bit different than file rights. For a newly created directory you may want to have the x-bit set (otherwise you can't change into it, regardless of having read-rights or not) and therefore there is a difference between UMASK 037 and UMASK 027, like MadeInGermany suggested.

I hope this helps.

XInstallColormap(3X11)						     MIT X11R4						    XInstallColormap(3X11)

Name
       XInstallColormap, XUninstallColormap, XListInstalledColormaps - control colormaps

Syntax
       XInstallColormap(display, colormap)
	  Display *display;
	  Colormap colormap;

       XUninstallColormap(display, colormap)
	  Display *display;
	  Colormap colormap;

       Colormap *XListInstalledColormaps(display, w, num_return)
	  Display *display;
	  Window w;
	  int *num_return;

Arguments
       colormap  Specifies the colormap.

       display	 Specifies the connection to the X server.

       num_return
		 Returns the number of currently installed colormaps.

       w	 Specifies the window that determines the screen.

Description
       The function installs the specified colormap for its associated screen.	All windows associated with this colormap immediately display with
       true colors.  You associated the windows with this colormap when you created them by calling or

       If the specified colormap is not already an installed colormap, the X server generates a event on each window that has that colormap.  In
       addition, for every other colormap that is installed as a result of a call to the X server generates a event on each window that has that
       colormap.

       can generate a error.

       The function removes the specified colormap from the required list for its screen.  As a result, the specified colormap might be unin-
       stalled, and the X server might implicitly install or uninstall additional colormaps.  Which colormaps get installed or uninstalled is
       server-dependent except that the required list must remain installed.

       If the specified colormap becomes uninstalled, the X server generates a event on each window that has that colormap.  In addition, for
       every other colormap that is installed or uninstalled as a result of a call to the X server generates a event on each window that has that
       colormap.

       can generate a error.

       The function returns a list of the currently installed colormaps for the screen of the specified window.  The order of the colormaps in the
       list is not significant and is no explicit indication of the required list.  When the allocated list is no longer needed, free it by using

       can generate a error.

Diagnostics
       A value for a Colormap argument does not name a defined Colormap.

       A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
