No, the "t" is a Windows thing.  In Standard C:

  "r" open for reading in text mode
  "rb" open for reading in binary mode

UNIX/Linux accepts both forms, but of course there is no distinction
between text and binary mode so the "b" is just ignored.

On Windows:

  "rt" open for reading in text mode
  "rb" open for reading in binary mode
  "r"  whether you get text or binary mode depends on the current
       setting of the global _fmode.  Note that the default value for
       _fmode depends on how the application was linked.
