What is the _sopen_s() equivalent for the open() function?

Question

Microsoft has deprecated _open in favor of _sopen_s. What are the recommended equivalent arguments?

Answer 1

Well now I can post my nicely formatted answer, so here it is:

For

int fd = _open(name,oflags);

Replace with

int fd;
errno_t errno = _sopen_s(&fd,name,oflags,_SH_DENYNO,0);

The reason I posted this Q&A is that it provides an important bit of non-obvious info that Microsoft didn't provide. I agree that the _sopen_s is a poor replacement for _open. I only researched this topic because I was fixing a bug caused by the wrong arguments being supplied to _sopen_s. The _sopen_s was only in the code to get rid of the compiler warnings; the original _open call was fine.
