= DESCRIPTION
This module is just a translation of the C <fcntl.h> file.

/* Fcntl loads the constants defined in the system's <fcntl.h> C header
* file, and used with both the fcntl(2) and open(2) POSIX system calls.
*
- * Copyright (C) 1997-2001 Yukihiro Matsumoto
- *
- * Documented by mathew <meta@pobox.com>
- *
- * = Usage
- *
- * To perform a fcntl(2) operation, use IO::fcntl in the core classes.
+ * To perform a fcntl(2) operation, use IO::fcntl.
*
* To perform an open(2) operation, use IO::sysopen.
*
- * The set of operations and constants available depends upon specific OS
- * platform. Some values listed below may not be supported on your system.
- *
- * The constants supported by Ruby for use with IO::fcntl are:
- *
- * - F_DUPFD - duplicate a close-on-exec file handle to a non-close-on-exec
- * file handle.
- *
- * - F_GETFD - read the close-on-exec flag of a file handle.
- *
- * - F_SETFD - set the close-on-exec flag of a file handle.
- *
- * - FD_CLOEXEC - the value of the close-on-exec flag.
- *
- * - F_GETFL - get file descriptor flags.
- *
- * - F_SETFL - set file descriptor flags.
- *
- * - O_APPEND, O_NONBLOCK, etc (see below) - file descriptor flag
- * values for the above.
- *
- * - F_GETLK - determine whether a given region of a file is locked.
- *
- * - F_SETLK - acquire a lock on a region of a file.
- *
- * - F_SETLKW - acquire a lock on a region of a file, waiting if necessary.
+ * The set of operations and constants available depends upon specific
+ * operating system. Some values listed below may not be supported on your
+ * system.
*
- * - F_RDLCK, F_WRLCK, F_UNLCK - types of lock for the above.
+ * See your fcntl(2) man page for complete details.
*
- * The constants supported by Ruby for use with IO::sysopen are:
- *
- * - O_APPEND - open file in append mode.
- *
- * - O_NOCTTY - open tty without it becoming controlling tty.
- *
- * - O_CREAT - create file if it doesn't exist.
- *
- * - O_EXCL - used with O_CREAT, fail if file exists.
- *
- * - O_TRUNC - truncate file on open.
- *
- * - O_NONBLOCK / O_NDELAY - open in non-blocking mode.
- *
- * - O_RDONLY - open read-only.
- *
- * - O_WRONLY - open write-only.
- *
- * - O_RDWR - open read-write.
- *
- * - O_ACCMODE - mask to extract read/write flags.
- *
- * Example:
+ * Open /tmp/tempfile as a write-only file that is created if it doesn't
+ * exist:
*
* require 'fcntl'
*
- * fd = IO::sysopen('/tmp/tempfile',
- * Fcntl::O_WRONLY | Fcntl::O_EXCL | Fcntl::O_CREAT)
+ * fd = IO.sysopen('/tmp/tempfile',
+ * Fcntl::O_WRONLY | Fcntl::O_EXCL | Fcntl::O_CREAT)
* f = IO.open(fd)
* f.syswrite("TEMP DATA")
* f.close
*
+ * Get the flags on file +s+:
+ *
+ * m = s.fcntl(Fcntl::F_GETFL, 0)
+ *
+ * Set the non-blocking flag on +f+ in addition to the existing flags in +m+.
+ *
+ * f.fcntl(Fcntl::F_SETFL, Fcntl::O_NONBLOCK|m)
+ *
