the \[aq]b\[aq] is ignored on all POSIX -conforming systems, including Linux. -(Other systems may treat text files and binary files differently, -and adding the \[aq]b\[aq] may be a good idea if you do I/O to a binary -file and expect that your program may be ported to non-UNIX -environments.) -.P -See NOTES below for details of glibc extensions for -.IR mode . -.P -Any created file will have the mode -.BR S_IRUSR " | " S_IWUSR " | " S_IRGRP " | " S_IWGRP " | " S_IROTH " | " S_IWOTH -(0666), as modified by the process's umask value (see -.BR umask (2)). -.P -Reads and writes may be intermixed on read/write streams in any order. -Note that ANSI C requires that a file positioning function intervene -between output and input, unless an input operation encounters end-of-file. -(If this condition is not met, then a read is allowed to return the -result of writes other than the most recent.) -Therefore it is good practice (and indeed sometimes necessary -under Linux) to put an -.BR fseek (3) -or -.BR fsetpos (3) -operation between write and read operations on such a stream. -This operation may be an apparent no-op -(as in \fIfseek(..., 0L, SEEK_CUR)\fP -called for its synchronizing side effect). -.P -Opening a file in append mode (\fBa\fP as the first character of -.IR mode ) -causes all subsequent write operations to this stream to occur -at end-of-file, as if preceded by the call: -.P -.in +4n -.EX -fseek(stream, 0, SEEK_END);
