On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, @code{open} may not work
|
|
correctly with files larger than 2 GB. (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)

This function does not fail when the file name argument ends in a slash
|
|
and (without the slash) names a nonexistent file or a file that is not a
|
|
directory, on some platforms:
|
|
FreeBSD 7.2, AIX 7.1, HP-UX 11.00, Solaris 9, Irix 5.3.
|
|
@item
|
|
This function does not support the @code{O_NONBLOCK} flag when it is defined
|
|
by the gnulib module @code{nonblocking} on some platforms:
|
|
mingw, MSVC 9.
|
|
@item
|
|
On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does usually not
|
|
recognize the @file{/dev/null} filename.

On Windows, this function returns a file handle in @code{O_TEXT} mode by
|
|
default; this means that it translates '\n' to CR/LF by default. Use the
|
|
@code{O_BINARY} flag if you need reliable binary I/O.
