It is required by the C standard to be OK.

What's *not* OK on Unix though is the Windowism to force a file open
mode into being text mode by "ra" and such.  The C standard implies
that a simple "r" will always open it in text mode unless the trailing
"b" is specified.  (Thus, the Windows option to default the open mode
to binary is fundamentally incompatible with the standard.  But if
you're Bill Gates you don't have to care about standards.)
