28 * This file defines the user side, file system related <fcntl> library.
29 * All these functions make a system call to access the kernel VFS.
30 * The user/kernel shared structures and mnemonics are defined in
31 * the <syscalls/shared_include/shared_fcntl.h> file.

37 * This function creates a new open file descriptor for the file identified by the
38 * <pathname> argument, and returns the file descriptor value.
39 * The supported flags are descripted in the <syscalls/shared_include/shared_fcntl.h>.
40 * - O_RDONLY   : open file in read-only mode
41 * - O_WRONLY   : open file in write-only mode
42 * - O_RDWR     : open file in read/write mode
43 * - O_NONBLOCK : do not block if data non available
44 * - O_APPEND   : append on each write
45 * - O_CREAT    : create file if it does not exist
46 * - O_TRUNC    : file length is forced to
47 * - O_EXCL     : error if VFS_O_CREAT and file exist
48 * - O_SYNC         : synchronize File System on each write
49 * - O_CLOEXEC  : set the close-on-exec flag in file descriptor
50 * - O_DIR      : new file descriptor is for a directory
51 * When the O_CREAT is set, the <mode> argument defines the access rights, as described
52 * for chmod().
53 *****************************************************************************************
54 * @ pathname  : pathname in VFS (absolute, or relative to current working directory).
55 * @ oflags    : bit vector of flags.
56 * @ mode      : access rights.
57 * @ return file descriptor value if success / returns -1 if failure.
