 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); 

描述

Given a pathname for a file, open() returns a file descriptor, a small, non-negative integer for use in subsequent system calls (read(2), write(2), lseek(2), fcntl(2), etc.). The file descriptor returned by a successful call will be the lowest-numbered file descriptor not currently open for the process.

The new file descriptor is set to remain open across an execve(2) (i.e., theFD_CLOEXEC file descriptor flag described in fcntl(2) is initially disabled). The file offset is set to the beginning of the file (see lseek(2)).

A call to open() creates a new open file description, an entry in the system-wide table of open files. This entry records the file offset and the file status flags (modifiable via thefcntl() F_SETFL operation). A file descriptor is a reference to one of these entries; this reference is unaffected if pathname is subsequently removed or modified to refer to a different file. The new open file description is initially not shared with any other process, but sharing may arise via fork(2).

The parameter flags must include one of the following access modesO_RDONLY,O_WRONLY, or O_RDWR. These request opening the file read-only, write-only, or read/write, respectively.

In addition, zero or more file creation flags and file status flags can be bitwise-or’d inflags. The file creation flags are O_CREATO_EXCLO_NOCTTY, and O_TRUNC. The file status flags are all of the remaining flags listed below. The distinction between these two groups of flags is that the file status flags can be retrieved and (in some cases) modified using fcntl(2).

文件創建標誌和文件狀態標誌的完整列表如下:

描述

O_APPEND

The file is opened in append mode. Before each write(), the file offset is positioned at the end of the file, as if with lseek().O_APPEND may lead to corrupted files on NFS file systems if more than one process appends data to a file at once. This is because NFS does not support appending to a file, so the client kernel has to simulate it, which can’t be done without a race condition.

O_ASYNC

Enable signal-driven I/O: generate a signal (SIGIO by default, but this can be changed via fcntl(2)) when input or output becomes possible on this file descriptor. This feature is only available for terminals, pseudo-terminals, sockets, and (since Linux 2.6) pipes and FIFOs. See fcntl(2) for further details.

O_CREAT

If the file does not exist it will be created. The owner (user ID) of the file is set to the effective user ID of the process. The group ownership (group ID) is set either to the effective group ID of the process or to the group ID of the parent directory (depending on filesystem type and mount options, and the mode of the parent directory, see, e.g., the mount optionsbsdgroups and sysvgroups of the ext2 filesystem, as described inmount(8)).

O_DIRECT

Try to minimize cache effects of the I/O to and from this file. In general this will degrade performance, but it is useful in special situations, such as when applications do their own caching. File I/O is done directly to/from user space buffers. The I/O is synchronous, i.e., at the completion of a read(2) or write(2), data is guaranteed to have been transferred. Under Linux 2.4 transfer sizes, and the alignment of user buffer and file offset must all be multiples of the logical block size of the file system. Under Linux 2.6 alignment must fit the block size of the device.

A semantically similar (but deprecated) interface for block devices is described in raw(8).

O_DIRECTORY

If pathname is not a directory, cause the open to fail. This flag is Linux-specific, and was added in kernel version 2.1.126, to avoid denial-of-service problems if opendir(3) is called on a FIFO or tape device, but should not be used outside of the implementation of opendir.

O_EXCL

When used with O_CREAT, if the file already exists it is an error and the open() will fail. In this context, a symbolic link exists, regardless of where it points to. O_EXCL is broken on NFS file systems; programs which rely on it for performing locking tasks will contain a race condition. The solution for performing atomic file locking using a lockfile is to create a unique file on the same file system (e.g., incorporating hostname and pid), use link(2) to make a link to the lockfile. If link() returns 0, the lock is successful. Otherwise, use stat(2) on the unique file to check if its link count has increased to 2, in which case the lock is also successful.

O_LARGEFILE

(LFS) Allow files whose sizes cannot be represented in an off_t(but can be represented in an off64_t) to be opened.

O_NOATIME

(Since Linux 2.6.8) Do not update the file last access time (st_atime in the inode) when the file is read(2). This flag is intended for use by indexing or backup programs, where its use can significantly reduce the amount of disk activity. This flag may not be effective on all filesystems. One example is NFS, where the server maintains the access time.

O_NOCTTY

If pathname refers to a terminal device — see tty(4) — it will not become the process’s controlling terminal even if the process does not have one.

O_NOFOLLOW

If pathname is a symbolic link, then the open fails. This is a FreeBSD extension, which was added to Linux in version 2.1.126. Symbolic links in earlier components of the pathname will still be followed.

O_NONBLOCK orO_NDELAY

When possible, the file is opened in non-blocking mode. Neither the open() nor any subsequent operations on the file descriptor which is returned will cause the calling process to wait. For the handling of FIFOs (named pipes), see also fifo(7). For a discussion of the effect of O_NONBLOCK in conjunction with mandatory file locks and with file leases, see fcntl(2).

O_SYNC

The file is opened for synchronous I/O. Any write()s on the resulting file descriptor will block the calling process until the data has been physically written to the underlying hardware.But see RESTRICTIONS below.

O_TRUNC

If the file already exists and is a regular file and the open mode allows writing (i.e., is O_RDWR or O_WRONLY) it will be truncated to length 0. If the file is a FIFO or terminal device file, the O_TRUNC flag is ignored. Otherwise the effect of O_TRUNC is unspecified.

Some of these optional flags can be altered using fcntl() after the file has been opened.

The argument mode specifies the permissions to use in case a new file is created. It is modified by the process’s umask in the usual way: the permissions of the created file are (mode & ~umask). Note that this mode only applies to future accesses of the newly created file; the open() call that creates a read-only file may well return a read/write file descriptor.

The following symbolic constants are provided for

mode:

S_IRWXU

00700 user (file owner) has read, write and execute permission

S_IRUSR

00400 user has read permission

S_IWUSR

00200 user has write permission

S_IXUSR

00100 user has execute permission

S_IRWXG

00070 group has read, write and execute permission

S_IRGRP

00040 group has read permission

S_IWGRP

00020 group has write permission

S_IXGRP

00010 group has execute permission

S_IRWXO

00007 others have read, write and execute permission

S_IROTH

00004 others have read permission

S_IWOTH

00002 others have write permission

S_IXOTH

00001 others have execute permission

mode must be specified when O_CREAT is in the flags, and is ignored otherwise.

creat() is equivalent to open() with flags equal to O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC.

返回值

open() and creat() return the new file descriptor, or -1 if an error occurred (in which case, errno is set appropriately).

注意

Note that open() can open device special files, but creat() cannot create them; usemknod(2) instead.

On NFS file systems with UID mapping enabled, open() may return a file descriptor but e.g. read(2) requests are denied with EACCES. This is because the client performsopen() by checking the permissions, but UID mapping is performed by the server upon read and write requests.

If the file is newly created, its st_atime, st_ctime, st_mtime fields (respectively, time of last access, time of last status change, and time of last modification; see stat(2)) are set to the current time, and so are the st_ctime and st_mtime fields of the parent directory. Otherwise, if the file is modified because of the O_TRUNC flag, its st_ctime and st_mtime fields are set to the current time.

錯誤

Error Code

描述

EACCES

The requested access to the file is not allowed, or search permission is denied for one of the directories in the path prefix of pathname, or the file did not exist yet and write access to the parent directory is not allowed. (See also path_resolution(2).)

EEXIST

pathname already exists and O_CREAT and O_EXCL were used.

EFAULT

pathname points outside your accessible address space.

EISDIR

pathname refers to a directory and the access requested involved writing (that is, O_WRONLY or O_RDWR is set).

ELOOP

Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolvingpathname, or O_NOFOLLOW was specified but pathname was a symbolic link.

EMFILE

The process already has the maximum number of files open.

ENAMETOOLONG

pathname was too long.

ENFILE

The system limit on the total number of open files has been reached.

ENODEV

pathname refers to a device special file and no corresponding device exists. (This is a Linux kernel bug; in this situation ENXIO must be returned.)

ENOENT

O_CREAT is not set and the named file does not exist. Or, a directory component in pathname does not exist or is a dangling symbolic link.

ENOMEM

Insufficient kernel memory was available.

ENOSPC

pathname was to be created but the device containingpathname has no room for the new file.

ENOTDIR

A component used as a directory in pathname is not, in fact, a directory, or O_DIRECTORY was specified and pathname was not a directory.

ENXIO

O_NONBLOCK | O_WRONLY is set, the named file is a FIFO and no process has the file open for reading. Or, the file is a device special file and no corresponding device exists.

EOVERFLOW

pathname refers to a regular file, too large to be opened; see O_LARGEFILE above.

EPERM

The O_NOATIME flag was specified, but the effective user ID of the caller did not match the owner of the file and the caller was not privileged (CAP_FOWNER).

EROFS

pathname refers to a file on a read-only filesystem and write access was requested.

ETXTBSY

pathname refers to an executable image which is currently being executed and write access was requested.

EWOULDBLOCK

The O_NONBLOCK flag was specified, and an incompatible lease was held on the file (see fcntl(2)).

注意

Under Linux, the O_NONBLOCK flag indicates that one wants to open but does not necessarily have the intention to read or write. This is typically used to open devices in order to get a file descriptor for use with ioctl(2).

遵循於

SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001. The O_NOATIMEO_NOFOLLOW, and O_DIRECTORYflags are Linux-specific. One may have to define the _GNU_SOURCE macro to get their definitions.

The (undefined) effect of O_RDONLY | O_TRUNC varies among implementations. On many systems the file is actually truncated.

The O_DIRECT flag was introduced in SGI IRIX, where it has alignment restrictions similar to those of Linux 2.4. IRIX has also a fcntl(2) call to query appropriate alignments, and sizes.

FreeBSD 4.x introduced a flag of same name, but without alignment restrictions. Support was added under Linux in kernel version 2.4.10. Older Linux kernels simply ignore this flag. One may have to define the _GNU_SOURCE macro to get its definition.

BUGS

"The thing that has always disturbed me about O_DIRECT is that the whole interface is just stupid, and was probably designed by a deranged monkey on some serious mind-controlling substances." — Linus

Currently, it is not possible to enable signal-driven I/O by specifying O_ASYNC when calling open(); use fcntl(2) to enable this flag.

限制

There are many infelicities in the protocol underlying NFS, affecting amongst others O_SYNC and O_NDELAY.

POSIX provides for three different variants of synchronised I/O, corresponding to the flags O_SYNCO_DSYNC and O_RSYNC. Currently (2.1.130) these are all synonymous under Linux.
