getumask − get file creation mask
#define
_GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
mode_t getumask(void);
This function returns the current file creation mask. It is equivalent to
mode_t
getumask(void)
{
mode_t mask = umask( 0 );
umask(mask);
return mask;
}
except that it is documented to be thread-safe (that is, shares a lock with the umask(2) library call).
This is a vaporware GNU extension.
This function is documented but not implemented yet in glibc, as at version 2.9.
umask(2)
