 If both @code{O_CREAT} and @code{O_EXCL} are set, then @code{open} fails
 if the specified file already exists.  This is guaranteed to never
 clobber an existing file.

+The @code{O_EXCL} flag has a special meaning in combination with
+@code{O_TMPFILE}; see below.

+@standards{GNU, fcntl.h} If this flag is specified, functions in the
+@code{open} family create an unnamed temporary file in the directory
+@var{filename}.  The @code{O_TMPFILE} flag must be combined with
+@code{O_WRONLY} or @code{O_RDWR}, and the @var{mode} argument is
+required.  The file can later be given a name using @code{linkat}.  To
+prevent that, specify the @code{O_EXCL} flag at open time.
+
+Not all kernels support this open flag.  If this flag is unsupported,
+the function call fails with an error of @code{EINVAL}.  If the
+underlying file system does not support the @code{O_TMPFILE} flag, an
+@code{EOPNOTSUPP} error is the result.
+
+The @code{O_TMPFILE} flag is a GNU extension.
