GETUMASK(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GETUMASK(3)

NAME
       getumask - get file creation mask

SYNOPSIS
       #define GNUSOURCE             /* See featuretestmacros(7) */
       #include 
       #include 

       modet getumask(void);

DESCRIPTION
       This function returns the current file creation mask.  It is equivalent
       to

           modet getumask(void)
           {
               modet 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).

CONFORMING TO
       This is a vaporware GNU extension.

NOTES
       This  function  is  documented  but not implemented yet in glibc, as at
       version 2.9.
