 125  125  bit is set in the directory in which the file is being created, the file's
 126  126  group \fBID\fR is set to the group \fBID\fR of its parent directory.  If the
 127  127  group \fBID\fR of the new file does not match the effective group \fBID\fR or
 128  128  one of the supplementary groups IDs, the \fBS_ISGID\fR bit is cleared. The
 129  129  access permission bits (see \fB<sys/stat.h>\fR) of the file mode are set to the
 130  130  value of \fImode\fR, modified as follows (see \fBcreat\fR(2)): a bitwise-AND is
 131  131  performed on the file-mode bits and the corresponding bits in the complement of
 132  132  the process's file mode creation mask. Thus, all bits set in the process's file
 133  133  mode creation mask (see \fBumask\fR(2)) are correspondingly cleared in the
 134  134  file's permission mask. The "save text image after execution bit" of the mode
 135      -is cleared (see \fBchmod\fR(2)). \fBO_SYNC\fR Write I/O operations on the file
 136      -descriptor complete as defined by synchronized I/O file integrity completion

 138      -file permission bits are set, the effect is unspecified. The \fImode\fR
 139      -argument does not affect whether the file is open for reading, writing or for
 140      -both.
