It's the same as the numerical format used by chmod. Or see the st_mode
flags in your fstat manpage. For example:
0775 gives owner and group "rwx" and others get "r-x"

"mask" is a bad name, it should have been "mode".


For smbfs you may also want to specify through uid/gid who the owner and
group are.
