\*.4,*, or \*.*,*. Otherwise, the open request is rejected with a security violation error
(file error 48).
An open request that has passed the Safeguard authorization check can nevertheless
fail. For example, if a process attempts to open a device or subdevice already opened
by another process that has exclusive access, the second open attempt fails with file
error 12 (file in use). (For more information, see the System Procedure Calls
Reference Manual.)
