EXECLINE-UMASK(1)

💅 EXECLINE-UMASK(1) — the girlies' guide to execline-umask 💅

okay so this is the General Commands Manual page for execline-umask, bestie. it sets your file creation mask and then hands the whole thing over to another program. short page, big slay, let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

execline-umask — sets the umask (that's the file creation mask, iykyk), then executes a program. that's it. that's the whole gig 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

execline-umask mask prog...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea. execline-umask sets the current umask to mask, and then it exec(3)s into prog.... like, it fully becomes that program, main character energy, no going back 😭

by default, at execline installation time, a symbolic link named umask gets created, and it points at execline-umask. cute, right? 🫶

but — and this is the part where we pay attention — when execline has been configured with the --enable-pedantic-posix option, that umask symbolic link points to the posix-umask(1) binary instead. different link target, same vibe 💅

and the good news? existing execline scripts that call umask will keep working no matter which configuration was chosen. literally no cap, they just work ✨
