Precisely. One seeking to use a tool program executable does not look in

I said "undocumented" exactly because the Unix System Services manuals do
not say which tool programs use open() and which use fopen(). They only say
what they will support to work with MVS datasets. And of course it will
stay that way because they could change the source of any tool program at
any time they feel like it and start using open() instead.
IMHO it is documented. Unix manual clearly describes what commands do
support MVS datasets. In fact - as a user - I don't care whether the
utility uses open() or fopen(). What is important is MVS dsn support,
doesn't matter how it is achieved.
