Does a fopen with 'b' mode suppress magic_quotes_runtime ?

Hello,

The PHP documentation contains a user note which says that opening a
file in binary mode ('b' flag) replaces the need to set
magic_quotes_runtime to off before every read and writes.

As it seems not to correspond to the rest of the documentation (I
thought that the 'b' mode was used only for Windows end of lines), can
somebody please tell me if it is right or wrong ?

I am developping a library which needs to read binary data from files
and, as I have to deal with a possible setting of magic_quotes_runtime
to on, it would make it much simpler if it could be specified at
fopen() time.

Thanks in advance
