open(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
[EOSSNOTRUNNING]
A required system process is not running.
[EOVERFLOW]
The file size is larger than approximately 2 gigabytes.
[EPERM] One of these conditions exists:
• The function call attempted to create a file named lost+found in the root
directory of an OSS fileset.
• The call attempted to create a file in /E.
• The program attempted an operation on a SEEP-protected fileset. Valid
for J06.15 and later J-series RVUs, and H06.26 and later H-series RVUs.
[EROFS] The named file resides on a read-only fileset, and write access is required.
[ETXTBSY] The file is being executed, and the oflag value is O_WRONLY or O_RDWR.
For all other error conditions, errno is set to the appropriate Guardian file-system error number.
For more information about a specific Guardian file-system error, see the Guardian Procedure
Errors and Messages Manual.

STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
The POSIX standards leave some features to the implementing vendor to define. These features
are affected in the HP implementation:
• The O_RDWR flag is supported for FIFO files.
• The group ID of the new file is determined by the value of the O_ISGID flag in the
parent directory.
• The O_NONBLOCK flag is ignored for regular disk files and directory files.
• The O_NOCTTY flag is ignored for regular disk files and directory files.
• The O_CREAT flag is ignored for FIFOs and tty files.
• If the O_CREAT flag is specified and bits other than the file permission and appropriate
file type flags are set in the mode parameter, errno is set to [EINVAL].
• If the O_TRUNC flag is specified and the O_RDONLY access flag is specified, the open
fails.
• The O_TRUNC flag is ignored for files other than regular files.
• Attempting to open an OSS directory with an access flag of O_WRONLY or O_RDWR
fails.
