No, I was referring to when it opened it to read it versus when it later opens
it for writing. They might use different name capitalizations.

Interesting sequence. Use "man 2 open" to see the syntax for this. The 2nd
argument is the open flags (from /usr/include/bits/fcntl.h) and the 3rd is the
new permissions to use for any newly created file. The first call above opens
AdminSettings.cno for write. The 2nd opens it for mode 0x242 (01102 octal),
which is O_TRUNC|O_CREAT|O_RDWR.
