---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0004941) mohd_akram (reporter) - 2020-08-21 16:47 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1392#c4941 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I think the title I put should be tweaked - the issue is actually + and = (- seems to behave the same due to the 000 starting point). I had posted the = example in the filed GNU bug but forgot about it - hopefully this link will work: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58654 On macOS: $ chmod =w file $ find file -perm =w file On Fedora: $ chmod =w file $ find file -perm =w It seems that macOS does not ignore the mask even with =, mimicking chmod's behavior. It feels like it would be simpler to defer to chmod in both syntax and semantics because the "symbolic_mode" operand is fairly complicated. This could entail removing the "without regard to the contents of the file mode creation mask of the process" (letting "appropriate" do all the heavy-lifting) and adding at the end that it is "implementation-defined whether + and = ignore the file creation mode mask when `who` is not specified".
