/* open3.h -- #defines for the various flags for the Sys V style 3-argument
   open() call.  On BSD or System 5, the system already has this in an
   include file.  This file is needed for V7 and MINIX systems for the
   benefit of open3() in port.c, a routine that emulates the 3-argument call
   using system calls available on V7/MINIX.

   Written 1987-06-10 by Richard Todd.

   The names have been changed by John Gilmore, 1987-07-31, since Richard
   called it "bsdopen", and really this change was introduced in AT&T Unix
   systems before BSD picked it up.  */

   O_TRUNC	if file exists, it is truncated to 0 bytes
