CREAT(2)                         System Calls                         CREAT(2)

NAME

       creat - create a new file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <fcntl.h>

       int creat (const char *path, mode_t mode);

DESCRIPTION

       This interface is made obsolete by: open(2).  creat is the same as:

            open(path, O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY, mode);

       Note  that  under  GNO,  creating a file with only read permission will
       fail if that file doesn't already exist.

SEE ALSO

       open(2)

HISTORY

       The creat function call appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
