3554 "set file mode creation mask (umask)",
3556 This function sets the mask used for creating new files and
3557 device nodes to C<mask & 0777>.
3559 Typical umask values would be C<022> which creates new files
3560 with permissions like \"-rw-r--r--\" or \"-rwxr-xr-x\", and
3561 C<002> which creates new files with permissions like
3562 \"-rw-rw-r--\" or \"-rwxrwxr-x\".
3564 The default umask is C<022>. This is important because it
3565 means that directories and device nodes will be created with
3566 C<0644> or C<0755> mode even if you specify C<0777>.
