Overview
Specifies how a pathname should be opened.
The fields are as follows:
- flags
-
This field specifies the file creation and file status flags to use when opening the file.
- mode

This field specifies the mode for the new file.
- resolve

This is a bit mask of flags that modify the way in which all components of a pathname will be resolved (see path_resolution(7) for background information).
