<h1> The <tt>execline-umask</tt> program </h1>

<p>
<tt>execline-umask</tt> sets the umask (file creation mask),
then executes a program.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     execline-umask <em>mask</em> <em>prog...</em>
</pre>

<p>
<tt>execline-umask</tt> sets the current umask to <em>mask</em>,
then execs into <em>prog...</em>.
</p>

<h2> Notes </h2>

<ul>
<li> By default, at execline installation time, a <tt>umask</tt>
symbolic link is created, pointing to <tt>execline-umask</tt>.
 <li> When execline has been configured with the <tt>--enable-pedantic-posix</tt>
option, the <tt>umask</tt> symbolic link points to the
<a href="posix-umask.html">posix-umask</a> binary instead. </li>
 <li> Existing execline scripts calling <tt>umask</tt> will keep working
no matter the chosen configuration. </li>
</ul>
