unix open() question!!
 

hi,

if i open a file using open() what mode is it opened by
default? viz binary mode or textual mode?


thanks,
harish

Defininately binary.

BTW "textual mode" doesn't differ from binary inside a UNIX-environment. In fact "textual mode" doesn't exists at all in UNIX/Linux. It is used in DOS/Windows C stdio libraries only.

thanks friend i got it!!
