That produces an extra resistance to the flow of current. ...

You will need to understand how to set file access permissions numerically before reading this section. Every time you create a file or a directory, its access permissions are set to a predetermined value. ... The values in the mask are subtracted from these values to give a default value for access permissions for the files and directories created by you. For example: 777 (system value for directories) -077 (value of the umask) --- 700 (default access permission of rwx------) . ...
