\section umask umask - set or get the file creation mode mask
|
|
|
|
\subsection umask-synopsis Synopsis
|
|
<code>umask [OPTIONS] [MASK]</code>
|
|
|
|
\subsection umask-description Description
|
|
|
|
\c umask displays and manipulates the "umask", or file creation mode mask,
|
|
which is used to restrict the default access to files.
|
|
|
|
The umask may be expressed either as an octal number, which represents
|
|
the rights that will be removed by default, or symbolically, which represents
|
|
the only rights that will be granted by default.
|
|
|
|
Access rights are explained in the manual page for the \c chmod(1) program.
|
|
|
|
With no parameters, the current file creation mode mask is printed as
|
|
an octal number.
|
|
|
|
- <code>-h</code> or <code>--help</code> prints this message.
|
|
- <code>-S</code> or <code>--symbolic</code> prints the umask in symbolic form instead of octal form.
|
|
- <code>-p</code> or <code>--as-command</code> outputs the umask in a form that may be reused as input
|
|
|
|
If a numeric mask is specified as a parameter, the current shell's umask
|
|
will be set to that value, and the rights specified by that mask will be
|
|
removed from new files and directories by default.
|
|
|
|
If a symbolic mask is specified, the desired permission bits, and
|
|
not the inverse, should be specified. A symbolic mask is a comma
|
|
separated list of rights. Each right consists of three parts:
|
|
|
|
- The first part specifies to whom this set of right applies, and can
|
|
be one of \c u, \c g, \c o or \c a, where \c u specifies the user who
|
|
owns the file, \c g specifies the group owner of the file, \c o
|
|
specific other users rights and \c a specifies all three should be
|
|
changed.
|
|
- The second part of a right specifies the mode, and can be one of \c
|
|
=, \c + or \c -, where \c = specifies that the rights should be set to
|
|
the new value, \c + specifies that the specified right should be added
|
|
to those previously specified and \c - specifies that the specified
|
|
rights should be removed from those previously specified.
|
|
- The third part of a right specifies what rights should be changed
|
|
and can be any combination of \c r, \c w and \c x, representing
|
|
read, write and execute rights.
|
|
|
|
If the first and second parts are skipped, they are assumed to be \c a
|
|
and \c =, respectively. As an example, <code>r,u+w</code> means all
|
|
users should have read access and the file owner should also have
|
|
write access.
|
|
|
|
Note that symbolic masks currently do not work as intended.
|
|

|
\subsection umask-example Example
|
|
|
|
<code>umask 177</code> or <code>umask u=rw</code> sets the file
|
|
creation mask to read and write for the owner and no permissions at
|
|
all for any other users.
