^title FileFlags Class Contains constants for the various file flags used to open or create a file. These correspond directly to the flags that can be passed to the POSIX [`open()`][open] syscall. [open]: http://linux.die.net/man/2/open They are integers and can be bitwise or'ed together to produce a composite flag. ## Static Methods ### FileFlags.**readOnly** The file can be read from but not written. Equivalent to `O_RDONLY`. ### FileFlags.**writeOnly** The file can be written but not read from. Equivalent to `O_WRONLY`. ### FileFlags.**readWrite** The file can be both read from and written to. Equivalent to `O_RDWR`. ### FileFlags.**sync** Writes will block until the data has been physically written to the underling hardware. This does *not* affect whether or the file API is synchronous. File operations are always asynchronous in Wren and may allow other scheduled fibers to run. This is a lower-level flag that ensures that when a write completes, it has been flushed all the way to disc. ### FileFlags.**create** Creates a new file if a file at the given path does not already exist. ### FileFlags.**truncate** If the file already exists and can be written to, its previous contents are discarded. ### FileFlags.**exclusive** Ensures that a new file must be created. If a file already exists at the given path, this flag will cause the operation to fail.
