\begin{funcdesc}{open}{file\, flags\, mode}
\begin{funcdesc}{open}{file\, flags\optional{\, mode}}
Open the file \var{file} and set various flags according to
\var{flags} and possibly its mode according to \var{mode}.
Return the file descriptor for the newly opened file.
The default \var{mode} is 0777 (octal), and the current umask value is
first masked out. Return the file descriptor for the newly opened
file.
Note: this function is intended for low-level I/O. For normal usage,
use the built-in function \code{open}, which returns a ``file object''
