in thread Does changing 'umask' change the system's default value?

Thanks again for your reply.

Will the directory be created with the mode that is specified in 'mkdir' or must 'umask' be included first? I guess what I am also asking is, should 'umask' be used when its value is to be different in the 'mode' of 'mkdir' or can the 'mode' in 'mkdir' standalone and control the directory's permission without 'umask' being explicitly set?

Again, thank you.
