Notes

If a call to open() or creat() supplies the third _mode_ parameter, it will currently be ignored.
Most of the functionality of these functions depends on the underlying filesystem.
Currently access() only checks the F_OK mode explicitly, the others are all assumed to be true by default.
The maximum number of open files allowed is supplied by the CYGNUM_FILEIO_NFILE option. The maximum number of file descriptors is supplied by the CYGNUM_FILEIO_NFD option.
