How to open a file in non-blocking mode in devcpp?

Question

I'm trying to write a server program in c, with DevCpp, that will create and edit about hundred of files every minute, of about 200 byte each.

The problem is that unistd.h , on devcpp, can't open files in nonblocking mode (it seems): I wanted to use open() with the O_NONBLOCK flag, but seems to not exist in the libraries (I have already checked in fcntl.h ).

What do you recommend me to do? Should I search for another version of unistd.h, rather than the one provided by DevCpp, or should I use another library?

I wish to keep the code as simply as possible, in order to create a fast and reliable server program, in C language. Thanks in advance.

open()及其标志的头是<fcntl.h> 。
