  \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).
  \end{funcdesc}
