Can umask be used for special permissions
Question
Is there a way to set special permissions on files and directories during its creation using umask or some other command?
ie if I set umask to 0000, the file permissions will become 0666 and for directories it will be 0777. In any case, default special permissions are not set.

No, it is not possible to set special permissions with umask.
Quoting theArch Wiki: umask :
The suid, sgid and sticky bits of the mask are ignored.
Use chmod to set gid and uid bits.
