Hello
Thank you for developing bash. I am using GNU Bash-4.0
Would you consider adding a --help option for "umask" please? (I
understand this is a built in command) Maybe also --version
I was just hoping to find some help for it. "info umask" and "man
umask" also don't say anything.
Regards, Jon
Hi Jon,
As is standard with other buitins, umask is documented at `help umask`:
chris@gopher:~$ help umask
umask: umask [-p] [-S] [mode]
Display or set file mode mask.
Sets the user file-creation mask to MODE. If MODE is omitted, prints
the current value

That said, POSIX allows, and ksh already supports, the use of --help as
an option to ALL builtins. It might be nice if bash were to take a leaf
from ksh and add generic
