Explanation of the magic numbers:
int open(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);
octal 102 for flags is O_RDRW | O_CREAT
octal 600 for mode is rw------- i.e. read and write for
the owner but no permissions for anyone else.
There is a version of open() that takes two parameters. However,
if O_CREAT is specified, the three parameter version is required.
