      <para>
       The mode is 0777 by default, which means the widest possible
       access. For more information on modes, read the details
       on the <function>chmod</function> page.

      </note>
      <para>
       Note that you probably want to specify the mode as an octal number,
       which means it should have a leading zero. The mode is also modified
       by the current umask, which you can change using
       <function>umask</function>.
