Don't know if it's a GNU extension to chmod, but if no ugoa is specified
in a symbolic mode, the effect is as if a (all of user, group, and
other) were set but umask bits are untouched. So, chmod =rw (with GNU
chmod, at least) should work well:
[mtdean ~]$ umask
0022
[mtdean ~]$ touch foo
[mtdean ~]$ ls -al foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 mtdean mtdean 0 2008-03-12 01:40 foo
Initial file is created according to umask.
[mtdean ~]$ chmod 0000 foo
[mtdean ~]$ ls -al foo
---------- 1 mtdean mtdean 0 2008-03-12 01:40 foo
[mtdean ~]$ chmod a=rw foo
[mtdean ~]$ ls -al foo
-rw-rw-rw- 1 mtdean mtdean 0 2008-03-12 01:40 foo
Because of the 'a' specifier, chmod ignored umask and set the mode for all
[mtdean ~]$ chmod 0000 foo
[mtdean ~]$ ls -al foo
---------- 1 mtdean mtdean 0 2008-03-12 01:40 foo
[mtdean ~]$ chmod =rw foo
[mtdean ~]$ ls -al foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 mtdean mtdean 0 2008-03-12 01:40 foo
Without a ugoa specifier, chmod honors umask
[mtdean ~]$ chmod 0777 foo
[mtdean ~]$ ls -al foo
-rwxrwxrwx 1 mtdean mtdean 0 2008-03-12 01:40 foo
[mtdean ~]$ chmod =rw foo
[mtdean ~]$ ls -al foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 mtdean mtdean 0 2008-03-12 01:40 foo
It will even remove permissions to honor umask since we're using =
(whereas + adds the permissions and - removes the permissions)
[mtdean ~]$ umask 0002
[mtdean ~]$ umask
0002
[mtdean ~]$ chmod =rw foo
[mtdean ~]$ ls -al foo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mtdean mtdean 0 2008-03-12 01:40 foo
Just to prove it does honor umask.
Anyone know if this is common to non-GNU chmod?
