O_EXCL is a file creation flag, so setting it here wouldn't make sense. Setting file status flags like O_APPEND does make sense, but those are stored in the `struct file` and don't need to be passed separately; the caller can e.g. set them via fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, flags) or on open(). (The fcntl.2 manpage explains these.) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
