DESCRIPTION


DESCRIPTION

_open is a version of open designed to operate only on HFS files. _open runs faster and calls fewer other library routines than open . Refer to open for a full description. _open is used exactly like the standard open function. The first argument to _open is interpreted as an HFS filename, even if it appears to begin with a style prefix or a leading // or both.
