-
O_RDWR
- opens the file for both reading and
writing.
-
O_CREAT
- creates the file, if it doesn't
already exist.
-
O_EXCL
- if both O_CREAT
and O_EXCL
are set and the file already
exists, dio_open will fail.
-

otherwise.
The actual permissions assigned to the created file will be
affected by the process's umask setting as
per usual.
Return Values
A file descriptor or false
