The f_open function creates a file object to be used to access the file.
++FRESULT f_open ( + FIL* fp, /* [OUT] Pointer to the file object structure */ + const TCHAR* path, /* [IN] File name */ + BYTE mode /* [IN] Mode flags */ +); ++
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| FA_READ | Specifies read access to the object. Data can be read from the file. Combine with FA_WRITE for read-write access. |
| FA_WRITE | Specifies write access to the object. Data can be written to the file. Combine with FA_READ for read-write access. |
| FA_OPEN_EXISTING | Opens the file. The function fails if the file is not existing. (Default) |
| FA_OPEN_ALWAYS | Opens the file if it is existing. If not, a new file is created. +To append data to the file, use f_lseek() function after file open in this method. |
| FA_CREATE_NEW | Creates a new file. The function fails with FR_EXIST if the file is existing. |
| FA_CREATE_ALWAYS | Creates a new file. If the file is existing, it will be truncated and overwritten. |

+After f_open() function succeeded, the file object is valid. The file object is used for subsequent read/write functions to identify the file. To close an open file, use f_close() function. If the file is modified and not closed properly, the file data will be collapsed.
+If duplicated file open is needed, read here carefully. However duplicated open of a file with write mode flag is always prohibited.
+Before using any file function, a work area (file system object) must be registered to the logical drive with f_mount() function. All API functions except for f_fdisk() function can work after this procedure.
+Always available. The mode flags, FA_WRITE, FA_CREATE_ALWAYS, FA_CREATE_NEW and FA_OPEN_ALWAYS, are not available when _FS_READONLY == 1.
