Subject: umask.1p: Can we add a table for octal and symbolic notation?
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2021 20:54:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878s6cbmm1.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
The POSIX.1 standard man page for umask is a really well written
document but lacks some notes for beginners.
For example comparing umask.1p to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask>
I really liked how Wikipedia added table for showing octal digits in umask
command to their corresponding action.
Can we do a similar thing for umask.1p or how can I contact The Open
Group to make changes into their manual?
