NAME
       getumask - get file creation mask

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <sys/stat.h>

       mode_t getumask(void);

DESCRIPTION
       This function returns the current file creation mask.  It is equivalent
       to
              mode_t getumask(void) {
                   mode_t mask = umask(0);
                   umask(mask);
                   return mask;
              }
       except that it is documented to be thread-safe (that is, shares a  lock
       with the umask() library call).

NOTES
       This function is documented but not implemented yet in glibc 2.2.5.

CONFORMING TO
       This is a vapourware GNU extension.
