The f_open function opens a file.
FRESULT f_open ( FIL* fp, /* [OUT] Pointer to the file object structure */ const TCHAR* path, /* [IN] File name */ BYTE mode /* [IN] Mode flags */ );
Flags | Meaning |
---|---|
FA_READ | Specifies read access to the object. Data can be read from the file. |
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_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. |
FA_OPEN_ALWAYS | Opens the file if it is existing. If not, a new file will be created. |
FA_OPEN_APPEND | Same as FA_OPEN_ALWAYS except the read/write pointer is set end of the file. |

The f_open function opens a file and creates a file object. The file object is used for subsequent read/write operations to the file to identify the file. Open file should be closed with f_close function after the session of the file access. If any change to the file is made and not closed prior to power down, media removal or re-mount, or the file can be collapsed.
If duplicated file open is needed, read here carefully. However duplicated open of a file with any write mode flag is always prohibited.
Always available. Only FA_READ and FA_OPEN_EXISTING are supported when FF_FS_READONLY == 1.
