Umask?

Hey, all -- someone on a BBS I'm on asked about how to set default
permissions on files, and I immediately thought of "umask"... which
appeared to not be installed on my Debian box.  So I plugged it into
Debian's search page, and got essentially nothing.  Is "umask" not used in
Linux?  Has it been deprecated?  If so, what was it replaced with?  Etc.,
etc., etc...

Thanks,

-Ken
