+umask [ -S ] [ mask ]
+ The umask is set to mask. mask can be either an octal number or
+ a symbolic value as described in the chmod(1) man page. If mask
+ is omitted, the current value is printed. The -S option causes
+ the mask to be printed as a symbolic value. Otherwise, the mask
+ is printed as an octal number. Note that in the symbolic form
+ the permissions you specify are those which are to be allowed
+ (not denied) to the users specified.
