Description brian saia 2019-03-09 00:25:46 UTC 
when describing the 'op' symbols, specifically the '-' option; the following line

"creation mask is clear, is cleared.  Otherwise, the mode bits"

should be changed to 

"creation mask is set, is cleared.  Otherwise, the mode bits"

the minus '-' clears bits which are set so the documentation needs to be corrected.

the more command says this line is at byte 6382.
