    In the open() function call, binary mode can be specified with the flag
    O_BINARY and text mode with O_TEXT. These symbols are defined in fcntl.h.

    In the fopen() function call, binary mode can be specified by adding
    a b to the mode string. Text mode is specified by adding a t to the
    mode string.

    The mode of a file can be changed by the call setmode(fd,mode) where fd
    is a file descriptor (an integer) and mode is O_BINARY or O_TEXT. The
    function returns O_BINARY or O_TEXT depending on the mode before the call,
    and EOF on error.
