12: The _f_i_l_e-_c_r_e_a_t_i_o_n _m_a_s_k modifies the default mode assigned to each
13: file upon creation. The mode sets the permissions granted by the
14: file's owner, plus other important information about a file.
15:
16: The command uummaasskk sets the default file-creation mask to _m_a_s_k.
17: _m_a_s_k is usually entered as an octal number prefixed by a zero
18: digit. If invoked without an argument, uummaasskk prints the current
19: file-creation mask in octal.
20:
21: See the Lexicon entries for uummaasskk() and cchhmmoodd for details on file
22: mode. The shell executes uummaasskk directly.

33: Setting _m_a_s_k to zero (i.e., 000 000 000) causes a file created
