<strong>Synopsis</strong>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>umask</strong> [ <strong>-S</strong> ] [ <em>mask</em>
|
||
|
|
]</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use <strong>umask</strong> to set or display the file
|
||
|
|
creation mask. The mask allows you to control the file permission
|
||
|
|
bits that are set when creating a file or directory.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If you specify <em>mask</em>, <strong>qsh</strong> sets the file
|
||
|
|
creation mask to <em>mask</em>. If you do not specify <em>
|
||
|
|
mask</em>, <strong>qsh</strong> displays the current file creation
|
||
|
|
mask on standard output.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Options</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

<ul>

</ul>

|

<p><strong>Operands</strong></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When using symbolic permissions, <em>mask</em> is an expression
|
||
|
|
that defines which permissions should not be removed. A symbolic
|
||
|
|
permission is an expression with the format [ <em>who</em> ] <em>
|
||
|
|
op</em> [ <em>permission</em> ] where:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><em>who</em> is a combination of the letters:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>u</strong> for owner permissions.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>g</strong> for group permissions</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>o</strong> for other (or public) permissions</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>a</strong> for all permissions (the default
|
||
|
|
value).</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><em>op</em> is one of the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>-</strong> (minus) to delete the permission.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>+</strong> (plus) to add the permission.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><em>permission</em> is one or more of the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>r</strong> for read permission.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li><strong>w</strong> for write permission.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
