dio_open() opens a file and returns a new file descriptor for it.

filename

The opened file.

flags

The flags parameter can also include any combination of the following flags:

O_CREAT - creates the file, if it doesn't already exist.
O_EXCL - if both, O_CREAT and O_EXCL are set, dio_open() fails, if the file already exists.
O_TRUNC - if the file exists, and its opened for write access, the file will be truncated to zero length.
O_APPEND - write operations write data at the end of the file.
O_NONBLOCK - sets non blocking mode.

mode

If flags is O_CREAT, mode will set the mode of the file (creation permissions).

A file descriptor or FALSE on error.
