The O_XXX of sysopen() come to mind as a possible reason for Fcntl, but I think bootstrap-like tasks should be possible without those I think only O_EXCL and O_NONBLOCK are something you can't get from the standard open(), and the need for that level of control in a bootstrap/build/etc is debatable. > -- Johan -- $jhi++; # http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ # There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'. # It is 'dead'. -- Jack Cohen
