\begin{funcdesc}{open}{filename\optional{, flag\optional{, mode}}}
Open the database file \var{filename} and return a corresponding object.
The optional \var{flag} argument can be
\code{'r'} to open an existing database for reading only,
\code{'w'} to open an existing database for reading and writing,
\code{'c'} to create the database if it doesn't exist, or
\code{'n'}, which will always create a new empty database. If not
specified, the default value is \code{'r'}.
Open the database file \var{filename} and return a corresponding
object. The \var{flag} argument, used to control how the database is
opened in the other DBM implementations, is ignored in
\module{dumbdbm}; the database is always opened for update, and will
be created if it does not exist.
The optional \var{mode} argument is the \UNIX{} mode of the file, used
only when the database has to be created. It defaults to octal
\code{0666} (and will be modified by the prevailing umask).
