How will one open a file with a mode "always create the file"
You cannot "always create the file" as the file could exist already...
Three solutions if the file already exists:
1. Truncate the file: Use "w"
2. Append to the file: Use "w+"
3. Return with the error: Not sure how to do this with fopen. But the
UNIX open with flags O_CREAT and O_EXCL will serve the purpose.
it moves on..
