Hi,

The POSIX.1 standard man page for umask is a really well written
document but lacks some notes for beginners.

For example comparing umask.1p to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask>
I really liked how Wikipedia added table for showing octal digits in umask
command to their corresponding action.

Can we do a similar thing for umask.1p or how can I contact The Open
Group to make changes into their manual?
