  \begin{funcdesc}{open}{filename\optional{, flag\optional{, mode}}}
! Open the database file \var{filename} and return a corresponding object.
! The optional \var{flag} argument can be
! \code{'r'} to open an existing database for reading only,
! \code{'w'} to open an existing database for reading and writing,
! \code{'c'} to create the database if it doesn't exist, or
! \code{'n'}, which will always create a new empty database.  If not
! specified, the default value is \code{'r'}.
  
! The optional \var{mode} argument is the \UNIX{} mode of the file, used
! only when the database has to be created.  It defaults to octal
! \code{0666} (and will be modified by the prevailing umask).

  \begin{funcdesc}{open}{filename\optional{, flag\optional{, mode}}}
! Open the database file \var{filename} and return a corresponding
! object.  The \var{flag} argument, used to control how the database is
! opened in the other DBM implementations, is ignored in
! \module{dumbdbm}; the database is always opened for update, and will
! be created if it does not exist.
  
! The optional \var{mode} argument is ignored.
