DIO_OPEN(3)								 1							       DIO_OPEN(3)

dio_open - Opens a file (creating it if necessary) at a lower level than the C library input/ouput stream functions allow.

SYNOPSIS
resource dio_open (string $filename, int $flags, [int $mode]) DESCRIPTION
dio_open(3) opens a file and returns a new file descriptor for it. PARAMETERS
o $filename - The pathname of the file to open. o $flags - The $flags parameter is a bitwise-ORed value comprising flags from the following list. This value must include one of O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY, or O_RDWR. Additionally, it may include any combination of the other flags from this list. o O_RDONLY - opens the file for read access. o O_WRONLY - opens the file for write access. o O_RDWR - opens the file for both reading and writing. o O_CREAT - creates the file, if it doesn't already exist. o O_EXCL - if both O_CREAT and O_EXCL are set and the file already exists, dio_open(3) will fail. o O_TRUNC - if the file exists and is opened for write access, the file will be truncated to zero length. o O_APPEND - write operations write data at the end of the file. o O_NONBLOCK - sets non blocking mode. o O_NOCTTY - prevent the OS from assigning the opened file as the process's controlling terminal when opening a TTY device file. o $mode - If $flags contains O_CREAT, $mode will set the permissions of the file (creation permissions). $mode is required for correct operation when O_CREAT is specified in $flags and is ignored 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 on error. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Opening a file descriptor <?php $fd = dio_open('/dev/ttyS0', O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NONBLOCK); dio_close($fd); ?> SEE ALSO

OPEN(2) 						      BSD System Calls Manual							   OPEN(2)

NAME
open -- open or create a file for reading or writing SYNOPSIS
#include <fcntl.h> int open(const char *path, int oflag, ...); DESCRIPTION
The file name specified by path is opened for reading and/or writing, as specified by the argument oflag; the file descriptor is returned to the calling process. The oflag argument may indicate that the file is to be created if it does not exist (by specifying the O_CREAT flag). In this case, open requires a third argument mode_t mode; the file is created with mode mode as described in chmod(2) and modified by the process' umask value (see umask(2)). The flags specified are formed by or'ing the following values: O_RDONLY open for reading only O_WRONLY open for writing only O_RDWR open for reading and writing O_NONBLOCK do not block on open or for data to become available O_APPEND append on each write O_CREAT create file if it does not exist O_TRUNC truncate size to 0 O_EXCL error if O_CREAT and the file exists O_SHLOCK atomically obtain a shared lock O_EXLOCK atomically obtain an exclusive lock O_NOFOLLOW do not follow symlinks O_SYMLINK allow open of symlinks O_EVTONLY descriptor requested for event notifications only O_CLOEXEC mark as close-on-exec Opening a file with O_APPEND set causes each write on the file to be appended to the end. If O_TRUNC is specified and the file exists, the file is truncated to zero length. If O_EXCL is set with O_CREAT and the file already exists, open() returns an error. This may be used to implement a simple exclusive-access locking mechanism. If O_EXCL is set with O_CREAT and the last component of the pathname is a symbolic link, open() will fail even if the symbolic link points to a non-existent name. If the O_NONBLOCK flag is specified, do not wait for the device or file to be ready or available. If the open() call would result in the process being blocked for some reason (e.g., waiting for carrier on a dialup line), open() returns immediately. This flag also has the effect of making all subsequent I/O on the open file non-blocking. When opening a file, a lock with flock(2) semantics can be obtained by setting O_SHLOCK for a shared lock, or O_EXLOCK for an exclusive lock. If creating a file with O_CREAT, the request for the lock will never fail (provided that the underlying filesystem supports locking). If O_NOFOLLOW is used in the mask and the target file passed to open() is a symbolic link then the open() will fail. If O_SYMLINK is used in the mask and the target file passed to open() is a symbolic link then the open() will be for the symbolic link itself, not what it links to. The O_EVTONLY flag is only intended for monitoring a file for changes (e.g. kqueue). Note: when this flag is used, the opened file will not prevent an unmount of the volume that contains the file. The O_CLOEXEC flag causes the file descriptor to be marked as close-on-exec, setting the FD_CLOEXEC flag. The state of the file descriptor flags can be inspected using the F_GETFD fcntl. See fcntl(2). If successful, open() returns a non-negative integer, termed a file descriptor. It returns -1 on failure. The file pointer (used to mark the current position within the file) is set to the beginning of the file. When a new file is created, it is given the group of the directory which contains it. The new descriptor is set to remain open across execve system calls; see close(2) and fcntl(2). The system imposes a limit on the number of file descriptors that can be held open simultaneously by one process. Getdtablesize(2) returns the current system limit. RETURN VALUES
If successful, open() returns a non-negative integer, termed a file descriptor. It returns -1 on failure, and sets errno to indicate the error. ERRORS
The named file is opened unless: [EACCES] Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix. [EACCES] The required permissions (for reading and/or writing) are denied for the given flags. [EACCES] O_CREAT is specified, the file does not exist, and the directory in which it is to be created does not permit writing. [EACCES] O_TRUNC is specified and write permission is denied. [EAGAIN] path specifies the slave side of a locked pseudo-terminal device. [EDQUOT] O_CREAT is specified, the file does not exist, and the directory in which the entry for the new file is being placed can- not be extended because the user's quota of disk blocks on the file system containing the directory has been exhausted. [EDQUOT] O_CREAT is specified, the file does not exist, and the user's quota of inodes on the file system on which the file is being created has been exhausted. [EEXIST] O_CREAT and O_EXCL are specified and the file exists. [EFAULT] Path points outside the process's allocated address space. [EINTR] The open() operation is interrupted by a signal. [EINVAL] The value of oflag is not valid. [EIO] An I/O error occurs while making the directory entry or allocating the inode for O_CREAT. [EISDIR] The named file is a directory, and the arguments specify that it is to be opened for writing. [ELOOP] Too many symbolic links are encountered in translating the pathname. This is taken to be indicative of a looping symbolic link. [EMFILE] The process has already reached its limit for open file descriptors. [ENAMETOOLONG] A component of a pathname exceeds {NAME_MAX} characters, or an entire path name exceeded {PATH_MAX} characters. [ENFILE] The system file table is full. [ELOOP] O_NOFOLLOW was specified and the target is a symbolic link. [ENOENT] O_CREAT is not set and the named file does not exist. [ENOENT] A component of the path name that must exist does not exist. [ENOSPC] O_CREAT is specified, the file does not exist, and the directory in which the entry for the new file is being placed can- not be extended because there is no space left on the file system containing the directory. [ENOSPC] O_CREAT is specified, the file does not exist, and there are no free inodes on the file system on which the file is being created. [ENOTDIR] A component of the path prefix is not a directory. [ENXIO] The named file is a character-special or block-special file and the device associated with this special file does not exist. [ENXIO] O_NONBLOCK and O_WRONLY are set, the file is a FIFO, and no process has it open for reading. [EOPNOTSUPP] O_SHLOCK or O_EXLOCK is specified, but the underlying filesystem does not support locking. [EOPNOTSUPP] An attempt is made to open a socket (not currently implemented). [EOVERFLOW] The named file is a regular file and its size does not fit in an object of type off_t. [EROFS] The named file resides on a read-only file system, and the file is to be modified. [ETXTBSY] The file is a pure procedure (shared text) file that is being executed and the open() call requests write access. COMPATIBILITY
open() on a terminal device (i.e., /dev/console) will now make that device a controlling terminal for the process. Use the O_NOCTTY flag to open a terminal device without changing your controlling terminal. SEE ALSO
