I am using GNU C, and I was just wondering what is the
difference between Fopen() [not fopen()] and open()?
Are the file descriptors they return totally different?
The reason I am asking, is when the new Flock() function
is implemented for networking, will we HAVE to use Fopen()
or can we still use open()?
