I am creating a file using open function and using O_CREAT | O_EXCEL . I have passed the mode as "0666" . But by masking finally the permission allotted to it is -rw-r--r-- and not the -rw-rw-rw- . Someone told me i can use umask (011) and then reset the original mask again . But i dont know how to pass this in c++ program. This is the small snippet of What i am doing .
# include <iostream>
# include <stdio.h>
# include <conio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int fd = open("C:\\Users\\Ritesh\\Music\\music.txt", O_CREAT | O_EXCL, 0666);
getch();
return 0;
}
creates file C:\Users\Ritesh\Music\music.txt
with permission -rw-r--r-- .
I want it to be -rw-rw-rw-
mode_t old_mask;
old_mask = umask(011);
open( ... );
umask(old_mask);
