I believe you would be refering to /dev/null - anything put in there
dissapears into computer limbo and anything that reads from /dev/null is
always zero

The files will have mode 755 on creation.

full access -->  777
minus umask -->  022
---------------------
permision   -->  755

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but this is it to the best of my
understanding
