ERRORS
If any of these conditions occurs, the function sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EACCES] One of these conditions exists:
• Search permission is denied on a component of the pathname prefix.
• The file does not exist, and write permission is denied for the parent
directory.
• The process attempted to open a Guardian subvolume with a reserved
name beginning with "ZYQ" or a file within such a subvolume.
• The process attempted to open a static Telserv window that is not yet
connected.
[EFAULT] The path parameter points to a location outide of the allocated address space of
the process.
[EFILEBAD] One of these conditions exists:
• The function attempted to open a Guardian EDIT file, but the structure
of the file is bad.
• The function attempted to open a Guardian EDIT file, but the corrupted
flag is set in the file label.
[EFSBAD] The fileset catalog for one of the filesets involved in the operation is corrupt.
[EGUARDIANOPEN]
The function attempted to open a Guardian EDIT file for write access or for
Guardian shared or exclusive exclusion access, but the file has already been
opened with a Guardian procedure call.
[EINTR] A signal was caught during the open operation. This value is returned only for
character special files (terminal devices) and for FIFO special files.
[EINVAL] One of these conditions exists:

directory of an OSS fileset, or it attempted to create a directory named
/dev, /dev/tty,or/dev/null in the root directory of the OSS file system.
• The function call did not specify the mode parameter.
• Bits other than the file permission and appropriate file-type flags are set
in the mode parameter.
• The function attempted to create a Guardian file (that is, a file in the /G
file system), but the pathname cannot be mapped to a valid Guardian
disk file name.
• The function attempted to open a Guardian file (that is, a file in the /G
file system) of a type other than those permitted.
