Linux umask table

Umask is determined by subtracting (binary NOT) from the initial masks of:

  • File: 666 rw-rw-rw
  • Directory: 777 rwxrwxrwx

Therefore:

Umask File result Directory result
000 666 rw-rw-rw- 777 rwxrwxrwx
002 664 rw-rw-r-- 775 rwxrwxr-x
022 644 rw-r--r-- 755 rwxr-xr-x
027 640 rw-r----- 750 rwxr-x---
077 600 rw------- 700 rwx------
277 400 r-------- 500 r-x------

Correct file column:

Umask File result Directory result
000 666 rw-rw-rw- 777 rwxrwxrwx
002 664 rw-rw-r-- 775 rwxrwxr-x
022 644 rw-r--r-- 755 rwxr-xr-x
027 640 rw-r----- 750 rwxr-x---
077 600 rw------- 700 rwx------
277 400 r-------- 500 r-x------
