# CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS

New in version 3.11.

Default permissions for directories created implicitly during installation of files by `install()` and `file(INSTALL)`.

If `make install` is invoked and directories are implicitly created they get permissions set by `CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS` variable or platform specific default permissions if the variable is not set.

Implicitly created directories are created if they are not explicitly installed by `install()` command but are needed to install a file on a certain path. Example of such locations are directories created due to the setting of `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`.

Expected content of the `CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS` variable is a list of permissions that can be used by `install()` command PERMISSIONS section.

Example usage:

    set(CMAKE_INSTALL_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS
         OWNER_READ
         OWNER_WRITE
         OWNER_EXECUTE
         GROUP_READ
       )
