:Required?: no
:Introduced: v8.38.0

Description
-----------
Permissions the :ref:`param-omprog-output` file will be created with, in case the file does not
exist. The value must be a 4-digit octal number, with the initial digit being
zero. Please note that the actual permission depends on the rsyslogd process
umask. If in doubt, use ``$umask 0000`` right at the beginning of the
configuration file to remove any restrictions.
