Example
 
  
     | 
   
    
       
      
$ SHOW PROTECTION
  SYSTEM=RWED, OWNER=RWED, GROUP=RE, WORLD=NO ACCESS
$ SET PROTECTION=(GROUP:RWED,WORLD:RE)/DEFAULT
$ SHOW PROTECTION
  SYSTEM=RWED, OWNER=RWED, GROUP=RWED, WORLD=RE

The SHOW PROTECTION command in this example requests a display of the
current protection defaults and the user identifiers; the SET
PROTECTION/DEFAULT command changes the file access allowed to other
users in the same group and to miscellaneous system users. The next
SHOW PROTECTION command shows the modified protection defaults.
