Hi Ian, > I think the inconsistency in the handling of umask on *BSD systems is > a bug. Please open an issue for that at https://golang.org/issue. Ok: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/23120

I went ahead and added a comment to the functions that use umask (not sure if it's all of them). I added a slightly longer remark: "The permissions passed are modified by the current umask, on platforms that support it.". I would think that being slightly more verbose is useful to let users know this happens, but is also platform-specific. Patch is here: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/83775 Gr.
