SDRP — PIM and PSM for Software Radio Annex H issue 4

Summary: Non-existent file creation mask
In section H.1.3.1.7 File Attributes Function Behavior
Change creation mask to POSIX defined "S_IRWXU" vice "SS--IIRRWWXXUU". (Note
the use of the underline (_) vice hyphen.)

Rationale: Section A.3.1.7 of the IEEE Std 1003.13-1998 (from which the SCA
AEP was paraphrased) describes a file mode creation mask of "S-IRWXU" (even
this is in error, should be "S_IRWXU".) POSIX contains a set of binary
constants in the sys/stat.h header file for use by file creation functions,
one of which is "S_IRWXU" (see IEEE Std 1003.1 or ISO/IEC 9945-1, section
5.6.1.2). Binary constant "S_IRWXU" provides the required full accessibility
to the creator of the file.
