When an application needs to access a file, it must first open it using fs_fopen() or FSFile_Open(). For most applications, the former with its familiar interface suffices. In some cases, the flexibility of the latter is demanded (see Listing - Example FSFile_Open() usage).

file ptr --> p_file = FSFile_Open ("\\file.txt", /* file name */
FS_FILE_ACCESS_MODE_RD, /* access mode */
&err); /* return error */
if (p_file == (FS_FILE *)0) {
/* $$$$ Handle error */
} |
The return value of FSFile_Open() should always be verified as non-NULL before the application proceeds to access the file. The second argument to this function is a logical OR of mode flags:
...
It is impossible to do this in a single, atomic operation using fs_fopen().
