The `posix-umask` program

- -

-posix-umask changes its file mode creation mask, then executes a program. -

- -

Interface

- -

-     posix-umask [ -S ] [ mask ] [ prog... ]
-

- -

-When called with no argument, posix-umask prints the value of the -file mode creation mask of the invoking process, then exits 0. -

- -

- When called with a mask argument, posix-umask changes -its file mode creation mask; then, if prog... is not empty, it execs -into it. -

- -

- posix-umask interprets mask as specified by the -POSIX -specification for a umask external utility. -

- -

Notes

- -

When execline has been configured -with the --enable-pedantic-posix option, the umask -command is a symbolic link to it. So scripts calling umask -will use posix-umask. When this configuration option has not -been given, umask is a symbolic link to -execline-umask.
posix-umask fully conforms to the -POSIX -specification. When prog... is not empty, the behaviour of a -umask utility is not specified by POSIX, so posix-umask extends -the spec to be actually useful and usable in an execline program with the same -interface as the regular execline umask command.
Nobody ever executes or needs the external version (i.e. not a shell -builtin) of the POSIX umask command. Compared to execline's regular umask -binary, execline-umask, posix-umask is -uselessly bloated and slow. The only reason it exists is that some -distributions refuse to package execline correctly unless it is strictly -POSIX-compliant; the --enable-pedantic-posix configure option is -there to satisfy their requirements.
