per the text accepted for inclusion in POSIX, behavior is unspecified when any of the access mode bits are set. since it's impossible to consistently report this usage error (O_RDONLY could not be detected since its value happens to be zero), the most consistent way to handle them is just to ignore them. previously, if a caller erroneously passed O_WRONLY, the resulting access mode would be O_WRONLY|O_RDWR, which has the value 3, and this resulted in a file descriptor which rejects both read and write attempts when it is subsequently used.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
