Open_flags.t
represents the flags associated with a file descriptor in the
open-file-descriptor table. It deals with the same thing as OCaml's open_flag
type; however, it uses Core's Flags
approach and the underlying integer bitmask
representation, and so interoperates more smoothly with C.
access mode.
These three flags are not individual bits like flags usually are. The access mode
is represented by the lower two bits of the Open_flags.t
. A particular
Open_flags.t
should include exactly one access mode. Combining different
Open_flags.t
's using flags operations (e.g +
) is only sensible if they have the
same access mode.
