The FileMode enum defines string constants used in the fileMode parameter
of the open() and openAsync() methods of the FileStream class. The
fileMode parameter of these methods determines the capabilities available
to the FileStream object once the file is opened.
The following capabilities are available, in various combinations, based on
the fileMode parameter value specified in the open method:
- Reading — The FileStream object can read data from the file.
- Writing — The FileStream object can write data to the file.
- Creating — The FileStream object creates a nonexistent file upon opening.
- Truncate upon opening — Data in the file is deleted upon opening (before any data is written).
- Append written data — Data is always written to the end of the file (when any write method is called).
