There I must oppose :-)

From the fopen manpage on my Linux box:

"The mode string can also include the letter ``b'' either as
a last character or as a  character  between  the  characters
in  any of the two-character strings described above.  This
is strictly for compatibility with ANSI X3.159-1989
(``ANSI C'') and has no effect; the ``b'' is ignored  on  all
POSIX  conforming  systems, including Linux.  (Other systems
may treat text files and binary files differently, and adding
the ``b'' may be a good idea if you do I/O  to a binary file
and expect that your program may be ported to non-Unix
environments.)"
