Consider the CreateFileA function in fileapi.h with the dwCreationDisposition argument set to CREATE_NEW, which would fail on the existence of the target file, or CREATE_ALWAYS, which would... you get the idea. This would at least allow equivalent functionality to be implemented.
I think it's fairly hard to imagine any operating system with a file-creation API that didn't offer something like that. No?
