R. David Murray added the comment:

The documentation says "Some of them are not available on all platforms. For 
descriptions of their availability and use, consult the open(2) manual page on 
Unix or the MSDN on Windows.".  The important bit there being "consult the 
open(2) manual page on Unix" for availability.

That said, since the options are grouped and labeled with per-platform 
availability...but with a slightly different meaning of the word platform...I 
think the docs could be clarified.  Do you have a suggestion for rewording that 
sentence to make it clearer?
