                     12: creat  creates a  new  file or  truncates an  existing file.   It
                     13: returns  a file  descriptor that  identifies file  for subsequent
                     14: system calls.   If file already exists,  its contents are erased.
                     15: In this  case, creat ignores the specified _m_o_d_e;  the mode of the
                     16: file remains unchanged.   If file did not exist previously, creat
                     17: uses the  mode argument  to determine the  mode of the  new file.
                     18: For a full definition of file modes, see chmod or the header file
                     19: stat.h.  creat masks the mode argument with the current umask, so
                     20: it  is common  practice  to create  files with  the maximal  mode
                     21: desirable.

                     34: If the  call is successful, creat returns  a file descriptor.  It
                     35: returns -1 if it could  not create the file, typically because of
                     36: insufficient system resources or protection violations.
