DESCRIPTION

14       open_append  opens  the  file filename for appending write-only use and
15       returns the file handle.  If it does not exist, it will be created with
16       mode  0600.   If  there  was  an  error  opening  or creating the file,
17       open_append returns -1 and sets errno accordingly.
18
19       All write operations will append after the  last  byte,  regardless  of
20       previous  calls  to  lseek(2)  or other processes also appending to the
21       same file.
