+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
+
+.SH NAME
+creat
+\(em create a new file or rewrite an existing one
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <sys/stat.h>
+#include <fcntl.h>
+.P
+int creat(const char *\fIpath\fP, mode_t \fImode\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIcreat\fR()
+function shall behave as if it is implemented as follows:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+\fB
+int creat(const char *path, mode_t mode)
+{
+    return open(path, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, mode);
+}
+.fi \fR
+.P
+.RE
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Refer to
+.IR "\fIopen\fR\^(\|)".
+.SH ERRORS
+Refer to
+.IR "\fIopen\fR\^(\|)".
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.SS "Creating a File"
+.P
+The following example creates the file
+.BR /tmp/file
+with read and write permissions for the file owner and read permission
+for group and others. The resulting file descriptor is assigned to the
+.IR fd
+variable.
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+\fB
+#include <fcntl.h>
+\&...
+int fd;
+mode_t mode = S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH;
+char *pathname = "/tmp/file";
+\&...
+fd = creat(pathname, mode);
+\&...
+.fi \fR
+.P
+.RE
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+The
+\fIcreat\fR()
+function is redundant. Its services are also provided by the
+\fIopen\fR()
+function. It has been included primarily for historical purposes since
+many existing applications depend on it. It is best considered a part
+of the C binding rather than a function that should be provided in
+other languages.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
