    File permissons of new a file

    Hello guys,

    i created a new file useing a program like below


    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>

    Code:
    int main()
    {
      int fileStatus;
    
      fileStatus = open("temp.txt",O_RDONLY|O_WRONLY|O_RDWR|O_APPEND|O_CREAT);
    
      printf("%d \n",fileStatus);
    
      return 0;
    
    
    }
    after executing this program . when i do the ls -l it shows as below

    -rw-rwx--T 1 rama rama 0 Mar 28 18:44 temp.txt

    do any body know what is this "T" means .

    regards

    -rw-rwx--? That alone is weird and should give you a clue.
    Your problem is that you specify O_CREAT but don't follow this little sentence in the manpage:

    Your flags to open() don't make sense either. You open the file only for reading and only for writing and for reading and writing? These three flags are mutually exclusive.
    All the buzzt!
