1/* The <fcntl.h> header is needed by the open() and fcntl() system calls,
2 * which have a variety of parameters and flags. They are described here.
3 * The formats of the calls to each of these are:
4 *
5 * open(path, oflag [,mode]) open a file
6 * fcntl(fd, cmd [,arg]) get or set file attributes
7 *
