<p>Opens a file at the specified path. The result of opening a nonexistent file depends on the access flags specified. All intermediate directories must already exist.</p>
<p>The access flags are best understood by comparing them to their equivalent mode strings accepted by the C standard library function <code>fopen()</code>.
The mode strings passed to <code>fopen()</code> map to <code>fs_open()</code>'s access flags as follows:</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code>&quot;r&quot; - FS_ACCESS_READ
&quot;r+&quot; - FS_ACCESS_READ | FS_ACCESS_WRITE

<li>
<p>There is no concept of current working directory. Therefore all file names should start with '/'.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Always close files when you are done using them. If you forget to close a file, the file stays open forever. Do this too many times, and the underlying file system will run out of file handles, causing subsequent open operations to fail. This type of bug is known as a file handle leak or a file descriptor leak.</p>
