- _\bS_\be_\bt_\bm_\bo_\bd_\be takes an absolute (octal) or symbolic value, as
- described in _\bc_\bh_\bm_\bo_\bd(1), as an argument and returns a pointer
- to mode values to be supplied to _\bg_\be_\bt_\bm_\bo_\bd_\be. Because some of
- the symbolic values are relative to the file creation mask,
- _\bs_\be_\bt_\bm_\bo_\bd_\be may call _\bu_\bm_\ba_\bs_\bk(2). If this occurs, the file crea-
- tion mask will be restored before _\bs_\be_\bt_\bm_\bo_\bd_\be returns. If the
- calling program changes the value of its file creation mask
- after calling _\bs_\be_\bt_\bm_\bo_\bd_\be, _\bs_\be_\bt_\bm_\bo_\bd_\be must be called again if _\bg_\be_\bt_\b-
- _\bm_\bo_\bd_\be is to modify future file modes correctly.
