               Mode       Description
               "r"     read text/binary
               "w"     write text/binary
               "a"     append text/binary
               "+"     allow update access
               "t"     text file
               "b"     binary file

               "r+b"   "w+b"   "a+b"   (update binary)

       write  - create
       append - seek to end of file or create file

       - text mode input, will have CRs discarded
       - using any of the stdio functions results in a default allocation
         of 512 bytes for the I/O buffer and the inclusion of the standard
         memory allocation functions
       - returns stream or NULL on error
