Issuing the '''umask''' command without arguments will display the current umask value.
Refer to the diagrams on the right-side to set the umask value for directories and regular files.
Setting the umask value (for example umask 022) only takes effect for the current shell session unless the umask command is contained in a start-up file <br>(e.g. '''.profile''', '''.bash_profile''', or '''.bashrc''').
