Open Flags
----------

   Moreover, the following flags are available:

`sync'
     All i/o operations are done synchronously

`nodelay'
     The device or file is opened with the O_NDELAY flag. This is
     needed on some non-Linux architectures.

`exclusive'
     The device or file is opened with the O_EXCL flag. On Linux, this
     ensures exclusive access to the floppy drive. On most other
     architectures, and for plain files it has no effect at all.
