Solution

The correct combination of oflags to open a file with the mode write only and create it if it doesn’t exist is O_WRONLY | O_CREAT.

Here's why:

  • O_WRONLY is used to open the file for write only.
  • O_CREAT is used to create the file if it doesn't exist.

The other options are not correct because:

  • O_RDWR | O_CREAT would open the file for both reading and writing, not write only.
  • O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL would cause an error if the file already exists, which is not specified in your requirements.
  • O_WRONLY alone would not create the file if it doesn't exist.
