100<para>This system call opens a named ca device (e.g. /dev/ost/ca) for subsequent use.</para>
101<para>When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use.
102 The significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
103 documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not affect the
104 semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in blocking mode can later
105 be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command
106 of the fcntl system call. This is a standard system call, documented in the Linux
107 manual page for fcntl. Only one user can open the CA Device in O_RDWR
108 mode. All other attempts to open the device in this mode will fail, and an error
109 code will be returned.</para>
