open
     
        1. To prepare to read or write a file.  This usually involves
        checking whether the file already exists and that the user has
        the necessary authorisation to read or write it.  The result
        of a successful open is usually some kind of {capability}
        (e.g. a {Unix} {file descriptor}) - a token that the user
        passes back to the system in order to access the file without
        further checks and finally to close the file.
     
        2. Abbreviation for "open (or left) parenthesis" - used when
        necessary to eliminate oral ambiguity.  To read aloud the LISP
        form (DEFUN FOO (X) (PLUS X 1)) one might say: "Open defun
        foo, open eks close, open, plus eks one, close close."
     
        3. Non-proprietary.  An open {standard} is one which can be
        used without payment.
