NAME
open_append - open a file for appending
SYNTAX
#include <open.h> int open_append(const char *filename);
DESCRIPTION
open_append opens the file filename for appending write-only use and returns the file handle. If it does not exist, it will be created with mode 0600. If there was an error opening or creating the file, open_append returns -1 and sets errno accordingly. All write operations will append after the last byte, regardless of previous calls to lseek(2) or other processes also appending to the same file.
