Hoping not to appear dumb, but is the file open() function (not fopen) supported on Linux/GNU and if so which header supports it ?

On MS its in io.h

Many thanks in advance,

man 2 open

Why the 2 ?

Thanks,

Aaron

It informs man to look in section 2 of the man pages, e.g, system calls.
Otherwise you might get the man page for perl open, tcl open, etc.

man man for more info.
man -k open is also useful.
