Conforming To
This is a vaporware GNU extension.
Description
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).
Name
getumask - get file creation mask
Notes
This function is documented in the glibc manual, but, as at glibc version 2.24, it is not implemented on
Linux. (See umask(2) for a thread-safe method of discovering a process's umask.)
