I can be the anti-brilliant and just shoot down what has been said. :) I think fopen_or_create is confusing; it implies to me that we'll open an existing file or create it if it's not there. But we are always about truncating/replacing the existing file. I think fopen_for_writing() is fine, or fopen_truncate(). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
