+$UMASK
+------
+
+**Type:** global configuration parameter
+
+**Default:**
+
+**Description:**
+
+The $umask parameter allows to specify the rsyslogd processes' umask. If
+not specified, the system-provided default is used. The value given must
+always be a 4-digit octal number, with the initial digit being zero.
+
+If $umask is specified multiple times in the configuration file, results
+may be somewhat unpredictable. It is recommended to specify it only
+once.
+
+**Sample:**
+
+``$umask 0000``
+
+This sample removes all restrictions.
