     Note that you probably want to specify the mode as an
     octal number, which means it should have a leading zero.
     The mode is also modified by the current umask, which you
     can change using <function>umask</function>.
     
     Mode is NOT needed on Windows.

     Please note also that mode is optional and that
     it is by default '0777' (read, write and execution for EVERY
     access). If you need more informations about mode under 
     UNIX systems, please read 'man 1 chmod' and 'man 2 chmod'.
