- path
- The path of the file you want to open.
- mode
- The access permissions that you want to use.
For more information, see
“Access permissions”
in the documentation for stat().
libc
Use the -l c option to
qcc
to link against this library.
This library is usually included automatically.
The creat() and creat64() functions create and open the file specified by
path with the given mode.
Calling creat() is the same as:
open( path, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, mode );
Similarly, calling creat64() is the same as:
open64( path, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_LARGEFILE, mode );
If path exists and is writable, it's truncated to
contain no data, and the existing mode setting isn't changed.
If path doesn't exist, it's created with the access permissions
specified by the mode argument.
The access permissions for the file or directory are specified as a
combination of the bits defined in <sys/stat.h>.
A file descriptor on success, or -1 if an error occurs
(errno is set).
- EACCES
- Indicates one of the following permission problems:
- Search permission is denied for one of the components in
the path.
- The file specified by path exists, and the permissions specified by
mode are denied.
- The file specified by path doesn't exist, and the file couldn't be
created because write permission is denied for the parent directory.
- EBADFSYS
- While attempting to open path, the file itself or a
component of its path prefix was found to be corrupted.
A system failure — from which no automatic recovery is possible
— occurred while the file was being written to or while the
directory was being updated. The filesystem must be repaired before
proceeding.
- EBUSY
- The file specified by path is a block special device
that's already open for writing, or path
names a file on a filesystem mounted on a block special
device that is already open for writing.
- EINTR
- The call to creat() was interrupted by a signal.
- EISDIR
- The file specified by path is a directory and the file creation flags
specify write-only or read/write access.
- ELOOP
- Too many levels of symbolic links.
- EMFILE
- This process is using too many file descriptors.
- ENAMETOOLONG
- The length of path exceeds PATH_MAX, or a
pathname component is longer than NAME_MAX.
- ENFILE
- Too many files are currently open in the system.
- ENOENT
- Either the path prefix doesn't exist, or the path
argument points to an empty string.
- ENOSPC
- The directory or filesystem that would contain the new file doesn't
have enough space available to create a new file.
- ENOSYS
- The creat() function isn't implemented for the filesystem specified
by path.
- ENOTDIR
- A component of the path prefix isn't a directory.
- EROFS
- The file specified by path resides on a read-only filesystem.
