From the description section of man 5 umask command, it says




For example, the following default ACL is equivalent to a umask of 022:



u::rwx,g::r-x,o::r-x




What's the significance of having another value which is a compliment of UMASK instead of umask itself as an ACL value?

    Because umask has always been, confusingly, the ones-complement of what it lets through. ACL is the same way as file modes.

  • In that manpage it says that when the parent dir has a default ACL, the umask is ignored and goes on to explain what default ACL creates the same effect as a umask of 022 -- considering that, I have trouble understanding the point of your question.

  • @ctrl-alt-delor why is it confusing that a bitmask is masking bits (turning them off)? I have a strange feeling of déjà-vu -- we already beat this horse to death.
