open() code example

Example 1: man pages file open

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int open(const char *pathname, int flags);
int open(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);

int creat(const char *pathname, mode_t mode);

int openat(int dirfd, const char *pathname, int flags);
int openat(int dirfd, const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);

/* Documented separately, in openat2(2): */
int openat2(int dirfd, const char *pathname,
const struct open_how *how, size_t size);

Example 2: O_CREAT open

int fd = open(path, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL, 0644);
if ((fd == -1) && (EEXIST == errno))
{
    /* open the existing file with write flag */
    fd = open(path, O_WRONLY);
}
