Creates a new file.

Format

#include <fcntl.h>

int creat (const char *file_spec, mode_t mode); (ISO POSIX-1)

int creat (const char *file_spec, mode_t mode, ...); (HP C EXTENSION)

Arguments

file_spec

A null-terminated string containing any valid file specification.

mode

An unsigned value that specifies the file-protection mode. The compiler performs a bitwise AND operation on the mode and the complement of the current protection mode.

You can construct modes by using the bitwise OR operator (|) to create mode combinations. The modes are:

0400	OWNER:READ
0200	OWNER:WRITE
0100	OWNER:EXECUTE
0040	GROUP:READ
0020	GROUP:WRITE
0010	GROUP:EXECUTE
0004	WORLD:READ
0002	WORLD:WRITE
0001	WORLD:EXECUTE

The system is given the same privileges as the owner. A WRITE privilege implies a DELETE privilege.

Note To create files with OpenVMS RMS default protections using the UNIX system-call functions umask , mkdir , creat , and open , call mkdir , creat , and open with a file-protection mode argument of 0777 in a program that never specifically calls umask . These default protections include correctly establishing protections based on ACLs, previous versions of files, and so on. In programs that do vfork / exec calls, the new process image inherits whether umask has ever been called or not from the calling process image. The umask setting and whether the umask function has ever been called are both inherited attributes.

...

An optional argument list of character strings of the following form:

"keyword = value",...,"keyword = value"

Or in the case of "acc" or "err", this form:

"keyword"

Here, keyword is an RMS field in the file access block (FAB) or record access block (RAB); value is valid for assignment to that field. Some fields permit you to specify more than one value. In these cases, the values are separated by commas.

The RMS callback keywords "acc" and "err" are the only keywords that do not take values. Instead, they are followed by a pointer to the callback routine to be used, followed by a pointer to a user-specified value to be used as the first argument of the callback routine. For example, to set up an access callback routine called acc_callback whose first argument is a pointer to the integer variable first_arg in a call to open , you can use the following statement:

open("file.dat", O_RDONLY, 0 ,"acc", acc_callback, &first_arg)

The second and third arguments to the callback routine must be pointers to a FAB and RAB, respectively, and the routine must have a return type of int . If the callback returns a value less than 0, the open , creat , or fopen fails. The error callback can correct the error condition and return a status greater than or equal to 0 to continue the creat call. Assuming the previous open statement, the function prototype for acc_callback would be similar to the following statement:

#include <rms.h> int acc_callback(int *first_arg, struct FAB *fab, struct RAB *rab);

FAB and RAB are defined in the <rms.h> header file, and the actual pointers passed to the routine are pointers to the RAB and FAB being used to open the file file.dat.

If an access callback routine is established, then it will be called in the open-type routine immediately before the call to the RMS function sys$create or sys$open. If an error callback routine is established and an error status is returned from the sys$create or sys$open function, then the callback routine will be invoked immediately after the status is checked and the error value is discovered.

Note Any manipulation of the RAB or FAB in a callback function could lead to serious problems in later calls to the HP C RTL I/O functions.

In addition to these options, any option that takes a key value (such as "fop" or "rat") can be negated by prefixing the value with "no". For example, specify "fop=notmp" to clear the "tmp" bit in the "fop" field.

Notes While these options provide much flexibility and functionality, many of them can also cause severe problems if not used correctly. You cannot share the default HP C for OpenVMS stream file I/O. If you wish to share files, you must specify "ctx=rec" to force record access mode. You must also specify the appropriate "shr" options depending on the type of access you want. If you intend to share a file opened for append, you must specify appropriate share and record-locking options, to allow other accessors to read the record. The reason for doing this: the file is positioned at the end-of-file by reading records in a loop until end-of-file is reached.

For more information on these options, see the OpenVMS Record Management Services Reference Manual manual.

Description

The HP C RTL opens the new file for reading and writing, and returns the corresponding file descriptor.

If the file exists:

• A version number one greater than any existing version is assigned to the newly created file.
• By default, the new file inherits certain attributes from the existing version of the file unless those attributes are specified in the creat call. The following attributes are inherited:
  • Record format (FAB$B_RFM)
  • Maximum record size (FAB$W_MRS)
  • Carriage control (FAB$B_RAT)
  • File protection

If the file did not previously exist:

• It is given the file protection that results from performing a bitwise AND on the mode argument and the complement of the current protection mask.
• It defaults to stream format with line-feed record separator and implied carriage-return attributes.

See also open , close , read , write , and lseek in this section.

Return Values

n	A file descriptor.
- 1	Indicates errors, including protection violations, undefined directories, and conflicting file attributes.
