Set the permission mask for file creation.
The parameter mask is an integer, interpreted as an octal number.
If successful, returns the previous value of the mask (as an integer to be interpreted as an octal number); otherwise an error message is printed.
The permission mask is a UNIX concept used when creating new objects on a
file system such as files, directories, or named FIFOs. The object to be
created has base permissions in an octal number mode which are
modified according to the octal value of mask. The final permissions
for the new object are mode - mask.
See also: fopen, mkdir, mkfifo.
