DESCRIPTION

17       Open the named file with the specified file modes. Not all combinations

19       thrown if an illegal mode is selected. A IO.FileError (3kaya) Exception
20       will be thrown if opening fails for any other reason. Legal mode combi‐
21       nations are:
22
23
24     - [Read,Write] : read and write to any point in the file
25
26
27     -  [Read,Append] : read from any point in the file, write to the end only
28     (creating the file if it does not exist)

31     - [Read] : read from any point in the file
32
33
34     - [Write] : write to any point in the file, creating the file if it  does
35     not exist, and truncating it otherwise.
36

39     doesn't exist.
40
41       Binary can be added to any of the combinations above to open  the  file
42       in binary mode on Windows (it has no effect on POSIX platforms).
