NAME

eumask - Change the current ECFS umask

SYNOPSIS

eumask [umask]

DESCRIPTION

The ECFS umask applies specifically for storage into ECFS.

Just as the UNIX umask controls access permissions on newly created files and directories in UNIX, so the ECFS eumask controls the equivalent aspects into ECFS. Note that ECFS fetches into UNIX are controlled by the UNIX umask.

The umask argument, if present, should be specified in octal. With no argument the command displays the current value in octal.

EXAMPLES

eumask
shows the current value of the ECFS umask.
eumask 022
sets the ECFS umask to 022 for newly created files and directories in ECFS.

NOTES

The umask is always interpreted and represented in octal notation. Using a leading zero is encouraged, as is using at least three digits (for example not '2' but rather '002'; not '277' but rather '0277').

The default umask for ECFS is set to 027.
