Hi,
The mode is the permission mode the file will have once it is created, it is
specified in octal.
>From man chmod:
A numeric mode is from one to four octal digits (0-7), derived by
adding up the bits with values 4, 2, and 1. Any omitted digits
are assumed to be leading zeros. The first digit selects the set
user ID (4) and set group ID (2) and save text image (1)
attributes. The second digit selects permissions for the user who
owns the file: read (4), write (2), and execute (1); the third
selects permissions for other users in the file's group, with the
same values; and the fourth for other users not in the file's
group, with the same values.
